About Casey and the third Olympic spot

Everyone is complaining that that is was Thomas Ajan gave us a spot and then took it away. Maybe Ajan told Dennis and Dragamir there was a good possibility of a third spot but not official. Which is why is was never on paper. We said we were going to have a third at trials but Ajan probably never confirmed it before then. This most likely upset IWF that we said we had a spot that wasnt official. This is the reason why I think the third spot never came about again because IWF was upset we said something that wasn't on paper. Therefore they probably worked even harder to make us not get a spot because of that plus they have a job to do - get as many countries in their sport as possible.

But I am very sorry for Casey losing that spot but it was not his fault and you can't put the blame on anyone for what happened. I t was very unfortunate because he was one that was deserving of the spot. He was the hardest worker I have trained with in and outside of the gym and I hope he continues to lift in order to get to London.
