Where there's smoke there's fire. There's some chatter over on Vital from people in the French DH community that imply some kind of incident happened, possibly with a junior female rider? If it's real, hope there's a real investigation happening, have seen all too often when stuff gets swept under the rug (see: hockey).
On the other hand, that chatter may be exactly what he is fighting against. Where there is slander there is not always slime. I just made that up. I'm so proud of myself.Quote:

Very true. Although the fact that he's left 2 teams in 3 months and he's now lawyered up certainly makes it seem like there's something more to this than internet rumors. Time will tell.Quote:

There is a lot of ways this could go, but it seems like something happened. Could be statutory in nature, it could be he hooked up with the wrong persons daughter, it could be the worst thing being suggested…. Likely not nothing… unfortunately in this world speculation will run rampant until the facts come out. It’s a not a good look for him no matter the outcome.
My guess is; we’re going to see how hard it is for a privateer to keep going at World Cups these days. Even a crazy fast one.

It is even hard for the smaller teams to afford competition these days. I'm genuinely concerned about the future of DH racing.Quote:

Agreed, who gives a fuck? God forbid these guys/kids show some emotion, it's not the PGA.Quote:

Was Bernard Kerr hurt in the cranck works crash?
I'm not offended by the f bombs. My point is that dh might consider eliminating the profanity to increase mainstream acceptance of the sport thereby increasing rider pay etc....
The problem with role models behaving outside of social Norms (whatever that is) is that kids emulate that behavior.
.. but, whatever, dh might remain on the fringe forever

If nobody’s watching American soccer, or women’s basketball or track & field because they can’t relate and don’t care, why would they ever flock to MTB DH or MTB anything.
