Who needs Nike, when you can be the face of Roco clothing

 

Rogan a 'journeyman'?:shock:

 

and McDonagh last year. This looks a 50/50 so I just hope it goes DO way, he's paid his dues.

its starting to look to me that joe ward is eligible for a place in the olympics as ...
the olympic tripartite invitation for 81kg place for a developing nation in europe cant go to a european nation as none meet the criteria hence the 81kg place goes back to the aiba who redistribute it to the highest ranked 81kg fighter who didnt qualify at the worlds 2011 who is JOE WARD ...

 

what twiiter account are you reading this from

 

Dan3Kelly is the twitter account iv'e been following
iv'e read the rules myself but im not aware if any european nation qualifies for a tripartite invitation but this fella dan3kelly seems to know that there isnt any nations who qualify for it

 

Looks like your on a personal crusade to get your bet back on

 

haha has to be done ...at the end of the day id just rather see the youngfella in the olympics if he is eligible especially with the way he was done over by the turks

 

You'd think if a journo has all this information then billy Walsh and the rest have also?? They have to be all over this so any chance isn't let slip

 

When will the "wildcards" for the olympics be known?

 

id say they'll be educated on it soon enough hopefully

 

From AIBA's own website.

REALLOCATION OF UNUSED TRIPARTITE COMMISS ION PLACES
Any unused places within the reserved quota of places will be reallocated by the Tripartite Commission.
Should the Tripartite Commission not be able to assign the places, the quota place will be allocated to the next best ranked athlete at the 2011 AIBA Men’s World Boxing Championship, not yet qualied.

And from the IOC;

3. NOC / ATHLETE ELIGIBILITY
Invitation places can only be allocated to NOCs with an average of six (6) or less athletes
at the last two editions of the Olympic Games. Only eligible NOCs are permitted to make a
request for their best athletes in the sports offering Invitation places.
Places that cannot be allocated to eligible NOCs will be returned to the concerned IF which
will be responsible for their redistribution according to the principles defined in each
qualification system.
It is important to note that there are specified minimum eligibility standards for athletes
applying for, or receiving, Invitation places. These standards are defined, where applicable,
in the qualification system of the sport concerned.

 

I think a wild card boxer has to box in one of the qualifiers, in this case the Worlds or at Trabzon.
