Hi,
I think this case needs to be discussed publically. A few weeks ago I received this mail:
Dear Tom,
I am sorry to inform you that the Organizing Committee of the competition has decided not to retain your application.
Your performances of the past months have created a debate with regards to the integrity of your results, after several doping controls with very controversial outcomes.
We would like to organize a friendly competition, without any suspicion and debates, and in this light your case is insolvent. After numerous meetings with our partners and after hearing the athletes' point of view, it was decided that you cannot be invited to this years World Static Apnea Contest in Monaco.
Believe me, I am sorry for this decision. I strongly advise you to clean up your image and to re-establish a positive and healthy image of our sport.
deeply,
I don’t understand this, AIDA considered me negative. The disciplinary comission of AIDA has publically admitted their mistake and there is no serious reason why I am treated like that. If you want to know any details don’t hesitate to ask.
People created a debate on rumors without any realistic background. This must not lead to conclusions like that. I have handed in the most important facts to Pierre and he wanted to discuss the case again.
I hope that rumors are not powerful enough to influence Pierres competition in this negative way.
I understand that sponsors have great power but the main focus should be on the sports perspective and the athletes.
I would be very sad, if I am not allowed to take part. I have been training very hard to reach my goals and I think I don’t deserve this.
Now let us get to something more important: The sports perspective. Today is a very happy day for me because I have reached an important personal goal… check here:

Now enjoy your dives and all the best for your trainings…. Tom
