I find this hard to believe, but unfortunately I know Paul (Stig) wouldn't lie about something this serious. Can the BUF please take some action to make an example of this kind of unacceptable behaviour! I know people think this is just a bit of fun, but when you have juniors and spectators much younger than you witnessing this kind of thing it becomes extremely embarrassing for the sport. Unless the BUF acts there will always be an element that thinks this is something to joke about (Jimmer: there are probably juniors and their parents who read this mailing list!).
