Yes I really understand the money argument (I was just not expecting it to be rise by USA...) as Sheffield was excessively expensive (So expensive that Columbia was unable to join the final party (Were they already saving money for Bari?)).

I understand that only few teams can afford to travel every year for competition. More efforts on the sponsorship front (Cmas or no Cmas it change nothing) and IOC front (as it seems that nothing has been done yet on this side in USA nor in AUS) have surely to be done.

I understand that chosing to not attend BARI has nothing to do with sportive reasons (and that USA can deal with loosing against Columbia, Slovenia and perhaps Turkey) and that the refusal to come is only politically motivated.

Let's see were UWH (or the aqua thing ) will go after all this nonsense :?
