VeloNews owners Stiff Pro Athletes

[DirtyWorks]

The same company that owns velonews owns/produces a bunch of running events. They are not going to honor athlete appearance contracts already signed.

Competitor has told runners' agents that they will be reimbursed for travel already booked to the event, and that already-invited elites are welcome to seek the event's prize money, but that appearance fees already agreed upon will not be paid.
