It would take speed skaters to call out Speedy. All of the years figure skaters were denied opportunities to earn a decent living away from ISU competitions. Now the Dancing on Ice fads have all but faded and pro comps are dead and buried.

I can only hope they win, fine Speedy and reform comes sooner rather than later.
