Wordin had a contractual clause to withhold salaries if a sponsor went
bankrupt. So he enforced it. In Phonak, this is not the situation - they
are saying they will pull out of the sport on their own initiative.

That doesn't relieve them of their contractual obligations to pay their
riders.

Take care,

Phonak doesn't own the team, a sports marketing outfit does. Phonak's
contract is with the marketing company, not the riders. It's very
likely that Phonak's contract is specifically tied to the team's
ability to get entry into the big races, whether GT's or the ProTour
races.

Without that guaranteed entry by the team, Phonak takes their
checkbook and walks and the riders are left to deal with the Swiss
equivelant of Horseteef.

That seems to be the general rule. When Wordin didn't pay his riders, he
tried to put it off on the sponsors, but the riders had no legal
relationship with them (Comptel?) and were stuck going after Wordin.

Because (s)he is either Tyler or Haven Hamilton and (s)he is feeling a
tad stressed at the moment. It's a sign of not coping. You just have to
feel sorry for them.

So he still races p12 events, why doesn't any one flick him into a gaurd
rail?

Shouldn't someone have done the same with Fuentes while they still had
the chance?

Pussies.

Wouldn't that be assault (unless it was done by Armstrong, of course)?
