Just read a 'worried' message from the sponsor and they are not amused. Another one who takes up action when the damage is already done. Why do guys with dollar signs in their eyes always make the same mistake!? Jeroen >Dear Frederic, it's not a question right or wrong. Fritz doesn't belong on a >national championship.
