I have to agree with some of the others on this board. I know some comm, and charter captains. Whenever you talk to them they always tell you what this one is doing, what that one did etc. Those guys know more about the other comms, and charter capt than they know about their own families. IMO the rest of that team must have known all along, or at least suspected what he was doing.
IMO Team Striper should not withdraw, but they should at least distance themselves from the guilty party. Maybe make some sort of statement like a letter to be published in OTW condemning the act of poaching, and stating that they are waiting for the adjudicating of his case before commenting any further. At the same time they should support OTW decision. Those guys have a hard enough time with the whole thing the last thing OTW needs is a blackmark.
I also think that OTW should rethink the rules allowing commercial and charter captains to compete. There is too much at stake for the charter captains, and commercial guys as far as reputation related to business. Let's face it when Gary Corsetti made all those appearances on Days of a Sportsman, and was winning tourneys it bumped up his business tremendously.
