Από χθες το πρωϊ είχαμε επικοινωνήσει με τον Βρετανό αθλητή και δημοσιεύσαμε για ευνόητους λόγους αρχικά στην αγγλική ενότητα των Αγωνιστικών Νέων την επίσημη δήλωσή του αυτούσια: James Bushells team is fighting to overturn a disqualification ruling deemed unfair and ahead of time, after the PWC star won the first three motos of the US championship, only to be told his ski was underweight. After the race, James new ski was found to be 78lbs underweight according to new rules yet the IJSBA website stated that the weight change would not be coming into play until 2014.Speaking after the decision, James said: My World Finals ski weighed in at 663lbs and this new one is heavier 672lbs. Nobody knew about this new ruling coming into force before the stated date, and I feel the IJSBA was wrong to call disqualification. A spokesman for 158 Racing said that the new weight ruling was announced on the IJSBA website in January, but the recommendation was that it would not come in until 2014. This statement is still live on the IJSBA website, in an article dated January 4, 2013. (See http://www.ijsba.com/2013/01/04/ijsba-releases-managing-directors-recommendations-for-changes-to-the-2013-competition-rule-book/ ) James father, Steve Bushell, also insists the weight of the Sea-Doo was race-legal: "James team is always extremely careful to ensure were working well within the rule book, so theres no way they would have allowed him to race on a Sea-Doo that was not legal. He added: We have lodged a protest because we feel we have been treated unfairly, and were hoping the decision will be overturned, so well await the outcome before commenting further. Είναι γεγονός ότι η IJSBA έχει παίξει πολλά παιγνίδια με τους κανονισμούς στο πρόσφατο παρελθόν και θέλει να διώξει τον έναν από τους 8 μόλις αναβάτες στην κατηγορία τότε θα βγάλει τα μάτια της με τα ίδια της τα χέρια.
