Re: is this true?
That's ok though. He's a WAY better spearfisherman than you or I so it's ok if he cheats...

Re: is this true?
If he was such a great spearo he wouldnt have cheated. I would kick his ass off the team if it was up to me. Even if he is some magical world class diver, to risk the whole team on one cheating loser seems too risky.

Re: is this true?
I googled him to see what would come up, its a shame (not really) that when you look all his big fish http://www.scubasworld.com/photos/ca...ag/harolf+dean that you have to now wonder about all of those past "great" fish as well.
Ban him! |

Re: is this true?
I personally dont want him representing me in any fashion...Cheaters are losers and losers are cheaters

Re: is this true?
I don't care how good he is, I'd rather not see him represent the US in any event.

Re: is this true?
Bullshit. It's sport. Not a corporation. Marion Jones is a cheater and she's in prison. Corporate raiders and world class atheletes cannot be compaired.

Re: is this true?
i agree, the point is its an honor to be competing at the world level, it doesnt matter that the tourn doesnt count for it, and this has nothing to do with scuba or freediving its a matter of integrity so if hes just made a mistake then show me all the wonderful things this person has done and speak up and apologise for what you did, its always much easier in the long run to tell the truth , come clean, and be honest as far as im concerned ban him and giva a chance to some one who really wants it. who cares how good he is i know a dozen people who are just as good. (Im not one of them) so where is his explanation come on speak up

Re: is this true?
It affects me because I'm an American and I'm patriotic. Harolf Dean is an American, representing The United States of America on a world class level. Whether or not you aspire to compete on that level or any level you are still being represented as an American by a cheater. Americans get enough bad press on the world scene, we certainly don't need any more.

Re: is this true?
If he (allegedly) repeatedly cheated in SBO, most likely he has done the same in other competitions and/or tournaments. Are you saying US Team will gain credibility with him competing? I personally dont think cheating is quietly acceptable, and should be exposed if/when it happens
