Vendt and his agency seem taken by surprise.
There was an announcement that Erik left Speedo back in January before he competed at the Long Beach Grand Prix. Why have they waited to pursue this? Was it only predicated on the proceedings against USA Swimming and Wamaco? Even though they're separate cases? The separation back then was described as "mutual"
If it has been an ongoing disagreement about the contract for the last five months then why are they treating it like a bolt from the sky? It's also important to note that according to his agent that Vendt never signed a contract with Speedo. Often athletes can get a release from a sponsor as long as they don't sign a contract with a competitor.
Since looking at Vendt's web page, and reading some recent articles... I'm now just plain confused. We'll see how all of this pans out.
