Are Dave Scott and Mark Allen “crazy” to sue Velo Press over “Iron Wars?? oh Boy
Sep 30th
This law suit stands about as much chance of sucess as a snows chance in hell. First of all Both Scott and Allen are hugely public figures, sports heros, on TV etc. In fact we have interviewed both of them in the early 90s on radio. So private citizens they are not. THEY ARE PUBLIC FIGURES. Claiming defamation by a noted sports journalist and press by those two will be next to impossible to prove.
In fact this hullabaloo will do nothing but sell books and make these two world athletes even more popular. Now we want the book and so should you.
Crazy Dave
This begs the question did Allen, Scott, their attorneys and Velo Press publicity department conjure this publicity stunt to sell books?
It has been done before. It is also illegal as hell to defraud the courts with a bogus suit. We’ll see about that. On the other hand these two sports heros may just be spoiled brats acting out in court trying to suppress a free press: an even dumber move.
Crazy Mark
Maybe it went something like this: They didn’t like the way they were portrayed so they are now trying to suppress the account. So what, the author said they must be crazy to compete in the Iron man?? No shit. Do you have any idea what the Iron man is like?? We asked the same question of them back in 1990? Are you guys crazy???
Hey Velo send us a copy. Dave and Scott: any chance you might autograph it for us?? haha
No seriously folks , we are sure Dave and Scott are fine upstanding sports super heros and it is completely normal to want to run 35 miles, swim 100 miles and ride a bike 1000 miles ?? That’s not psychologically unstable at all….No. Good thing these two super sports heros didn’t play football in the NFL and tried to pull this law suit crap there? Was refrigerator Perry unbalanced?? How about the Boz?? Or in cycling Did Lance Armstrong do steroids. ?? What about Dave or Scott?? Were they ever tested for roids.? Does the Iron Man have a drug test policy?? Anyway , we can’t wait for the trial. It ‘s going to be a sanity hearing. Maybe a cry fest. These two aren’t acting like tough Iron Men. They are acting like Pussies.
Iron men don’t call a lawyer to fight they’re battles. Real Iron men rap the reporter right in the mouth or throw him in the pool or something. But hiring a scumbag lawyer to sue is chicken shit. Straight up. Now grow up you two and take it. Stop acting like a couple of BMW driving whine bag tri-atheletes.
