that article really does shed some light on the situation. Wasn't too sure what was going on during my previous comments, but he had been fighting at the higher weights since the champs last year. I think both sides need to to ease off each other when spreading blame, can't really blame the olympics commitee wanting two guys in the games rather than sacrificing one, can't really blame Gavin either since he had obvious difficulty making the weight, and if he really did have cracked tounge they were right to pull him out.

I'd harzard a guess that conflicting advice from different nutritionist surely didn't help though.
