lol, no I dont think that way in general. Plus I didnt think Plush should continue competitive skating, I m not really surprised to what happened but the way it happened, but people make it worse. Anyway, as I read he has 20 days to appeal to change the decision but i dont see the point.I'm glad you're okay with it, though, Seniorita. I thought we'd have to pick you up off the floor.
I am still not totally clear on all the details. But there were other eligible skaters there who did not show up for Worlds. Of course, skaters who did not make their World teams broke no rules. But Johnny made the U.S. World team. Has he also broken some rule?

Michelle Kwan and Sasha Cohen went to great efforts to maintain their eligibility by following the well-known rules... Plushenko should be held to the same rules.
Rules are rules but the ISU totally went after to Plushenko to destroy him!
Presuming he cared. He knows the state of his own health and maybe he knows it's hugely unlikely for him to actually compete effectively in Sochi. What would the point be of going and ending up in eighth (or whatever).
Plushenko totally did it himself by not handling according to the ISU rules. Another matter is whether he was seeking for this outcome deliberately, perhaps?
Plushenko withdrew from Worlds at 18 of March and skated at KOI on 30-31, he didnt skate during Worlds, the show was after.However, he then skated at events that occurred during the time period when he should've been preparing and/or competing at World's.
Can someone find me the rules for all the violations? So we have learnt for drinking situation ban is for one year, for driving not carefully ban is for one year, but for going to a show ban is for life. What is the ban for doping? Going to the center of the Red Square and drop the athlete from the roof of the Happy Church?
In their announcement ISU says according to evidence, but they dont say what evidence.
Head of "Russian Commission on Sports Law Association of Lawyers", Sergei Alexeyev believes that in the case of dismissal Evgeni Plushenko of competitions under the auspices of the ISU there are personal reasons. According to lawyers, the Russian Federation of figure skating (FFKKR) intentionally failed to provide the International Skating Union (ISU) letter dated March 22, 2010, in which Valentin Piseev resolved Evgeny Plushenko to participate in the show "Kings of ice."
