Schoeman, Several South African Stars Facing Raw Deal from National Governing Body
Several topics at play here...
Personally, I find it hard to agree with making some exceptions for studs, but as these guys are essentially paying their own way on behalf of the country/swim federation, I agree that they're getting the shaft here. One could make a case that they're being slightly exploited.
Perhaps Qatar will grand them citizenship and they can train with Duje. One hell of a 400 free relay.
feel free to comment and post other examples of swimmers getting the shaft...
Was Eric’s selection an exception to the criteria or a consideration built into the selection criteria for 1991 due to the timing of Pan PACs?
No. Lots of swimmers from worlds used the rule to skip nationals and get ready for Pan Pacs.
