John Steffensen to boycott Delhi games

Following the selection trials, and on a number of occasions since, John has been critical of Athletics Australia through the media.

We have made numerous attempts to arrange meetings with John to discuss his issues and his behaviour since April and have also offered to participate in an independent mediation process. Despite this, John has refused all efforts to meet with Athletics Australia to discuss his situation. It is extremely difficult to resolve any issues with an athlete who refuses to communicate directly.

and there we have it. Faults or not you can’t work to fix things if people won’t engage.
