ANOTHER TRANSLATION FROM GERMAN DEAF ONLINE NEWS MAGAZINE
By Rafael Pinkhasov Pinchas, CISS/Deaflympics Ombudsman
New York, USA - Upon request of many persons, here is a
computerized translation from German into English of another
relevant CISS/Deaflympics-related story published in the
popular deaf online news magazine LBMAGAZIN from Germany (
www.lbmagazin.de ):
Pinchas: USA Team Must Be Disqualified!
The American athletes taking part at the 2005 Deaflympics proves illegal ! ...said Rafael Pinchas, former CISS-Kongressmitglied.
Since the USA Deaf Sports Federation owes the CISS another
quantity money and has not paid the penalties so far, all
American athletes had to actually be disqualified. So it
stipulates the rulebook of the CISS.
Up to now the USA were never excluded by the Deaflympics
however.
Do the Americans be treated approximately preferentially?
Because with other teams, the CISS knew no mercy: four years
before would have had to almost hand over Russia on the basis of
tardier fines all medals. The penalty was paid off in the last
minute, and the medals were rescued.
Bad luck had Kazakhstan: the complete team was disqualified in
Rome at the 2001 Games and from CISS-Präsidentin Ammons again
home-skillful.
And why do the Americans neither be asked to do the same or get
disqualified?
Eye about eye, tooth about tooth - that means Pinchas anyway. Therefore the stubborn would-be revolutionary started a Unterschriftenaktion (underwriting nation).
In Melbourne, he went down well with athletes and he even won
the votes of the swimmer Terence Parkin ( South Africa, 12-time
gold-medalist ) and Badminton player Rajeev Bagga ( India, five
times Deaflympics participant-every time gold-medalist )! Also,
other successful Deaflympics athletes put down his/her/their
signature under Pinchas' protest-letter.

A disqualification of USA team would mean: both Basketball teams of the ladies and men lose their gold-medals to Sweden ( for women ) as well as to Slovenia ( for men ) and in Cycling Germany as a country inherits its 7th gold medal won at the 2005 Games. Also that silver - and bronze-medals are distributed again.
Indeed that would mean: all American medalists that have trained
for 4 years long roughly and will lose all their already earned
medals, maybe, must pay for indirectly for the USA Deaf Sports
Federation ... it would better be to ban all US officials and
athletes in the next 3 Deaflympics.
