Olympic double-gold-medallist Kaillie Humphries has lost her bid to be released from the Canadian bobsled team to compete for the United States.
“Ms. Humphries has chosen not to avail herself of Bobsled Canada’s dispute resolution,” Anderson said, in noting governing bodies have the option to prevent athletes from competing for other nations. Chowdhury argued against Humphries’ injunction bid, saying athletes who are the beneficiaries of years of training and funding through tax dollars shouldn’t be allowed to then compete for other nations.
Rath argued Humphries’ contract with BCS expired June 30, and the organization made no attempts to resign her after she sat out the 2018-19 season following a bronze-medal performance at the PyeongChang Games in February 2018. But high performance director of Bobsleigh Canada Skeleton, Chris Le Bihan, said the organization’s goal is to develop world and Olympic champions like Humphries, and it wants her to continue to compete for the national team.“Kaillie is obviously going to be a threat in the next Olympics and there’s nothing more that we’d like to see other than Canadians standing on the podium.”
Good.
This stuff is why I no longer watch or will ever support an Olympic event again. Olympics. You guys need to ensure Athletes are more than commodities every four years.
WELL is she a LIAR or a SAINT ?
