there is one lingering issue and i hope to allow alan geraldi, willy nevin, or anyone else in a position to know, to comment on this. i'd like to give the SF Tri Club a voice here to make clear to everyone what they've done and not done, so that this club is fairly characterized on this forum.
it appears that i might've wrongly associated the SF Tri Club with individuals that were in a lawsuit with USAT. i misremembered this, my wrong, my bad, my apology.
it was the san jose race to which i should've referred, and there were apparently USAT hearings involved, certainly not lawsuits, and alan geraldi had nothing to do with any lawsuits, only (perhaps) with the USAT hearings (more on that below, which i hope alan can clear up when he returns to the forum).
if there is anything else the SF Tri Club would like me to say to incorrect any bad or wrong or unfair impressions, please let me know and i'm glad to do it.
there were some versions of events floating around. here is where whomever wants can explain whatever needs explaining re the SF Tri Club. and let me state in advance that the correct answer to EACH of these questions may very well be "NO." this is just the version of events i've heard, and if i've heard them others have heard them.
and i'd like the club to disabuse me of my wrong impressions, because it's on this basis that i assume an affinity exists between girand and the SF Tri Club. perhaps i'm wrong about all this, in which case i'd like to know, and would like the record to be set straight publicly.
* was there race entry buying/selling on the SF Triclub Yahoo Egroup page?
* was there a USAT hearing held about any of this? anything happen as a result?
* were any hearings involving any membes of the SF Tri Club?
* were any SF Tri Club officers knowledgeable of any transfers taking place?
* did any of the SF Tri Club's officers argue in favor of any athletes, or in opposition to any suspensions?
* does jim girand show any solidarity for the SF Tri Club in its efforts to get a good race transfer policy installed in USAT's sanction package? if so, does this represent a point of particular affinity (that wouldn't exist between girand and other clubs) between girand and this club?
* is there anything else anyone on the SF Tri Club wants to say to explain their position, and/or correct me or any others of anything for which it's unfairly accused?
anything the SF Tri Club wants to say about this, here's a place for it. we can make this discussion as short or long as you wish. this is your forum for whatever you'd like to say.
