Allegations have surfaced stating that Dr. Rachel Gunn aka RayGun, manipulated the qualifier by setting up her own governing body, denying grants to underprivileged performers, and allowing her husband to coach the national team.

Australians have started a petition demanding an investigation and apology, it has garnered over 13,000 signatures.

Should she be forced to apologize or was she humiliated enough?

With the newest controversy (her becoming #1 in the world)

I went and (finally) read her essay. I have to admit I "appreciated" the social experiment. Happy to argue its merits and who it impacts but it is a rich topic to farm.

The totally uncalled for, uninformed, what do you know, who asked for your opinion comment:
This is what happens when you let things that are not sports into the Olympics.

I will go sit in my corner now.

You're entitled to have that comment

And , frankly, it's a bit why I struggle with sports that are judged.
