Repercussions of Papadakis' book & Cizeron's response

@MacMadame Which is what is making me side-eye IAM so hard. Sorensen is one of the FEW skaters that had enough evidence against them to be banned and yet IAM is allowing him at the rink.

I think not going against the dominant coaching camp just crops up again and again and again, not only in dance, though it may be entrenched in a way there because of the political nature of the sport. I remember all the articles praising the wonder of Canton, how beautiful and perfect everything there was....until it all imploded.

Do we know this for certain? What we know is that he's traveled with Lolo & Gui to at least two of their competitions - GPdF and Europeans. Is there any in Montreal who knows if IAM is allowing him to work with FBCiz in any capacity? I thought I read something after the suspension about him possibly working at the gym where he & Lolo trained - which wouldn't preclude him from working with Lolo & Gui, but it's not the same as being allowed at the rink by IAM.

Based on what I have read... in the beginning, he seemed to be involved with the team's training in some capacity based on gossip coming out of IAM. But at some point, people weren't talking about the team at IAM and the only recent sightings are those of him in the audience and people who were there saying he's at this and that competition.

I don't pretend to know what is going on. I'm not at IAM and people who are don't seem to be gossiping about this team anymore like they were in the early days.

Also, my original post was not saying anything about whether or not he's coaching right now because I don't know. I was saying that we can't tell if he's allowed to coach based on whether or not he's at the rink coaching (if he even is), because in NA, people do coach "on the sly". IOW, it's a logic thing - A doesn't prove B. It doesn't prove Not B either. It doesn't prove anything. I guess that was confusing to people and some thought I was making a claim about his current status with this team.
