Raygun's Aussie rival goes viral | 00:43The Australia n Olympic Committee has lashed an online petition targeting breaking competitor Rachael Gunn as “vexatious, misleading and bullying” and called for its removal.
Carroll said the petition was an “affront” to Meares, who had no role in overseeing the nomination of Olympic athletes to the AOC selection committee or in the qualification events for different sports. “It is disgraceful that these falsehoods concocted by an anonymous person can be published in this way. It amounts to bullying and harassment and is defamatory. We are demanding that it be removed from the site immediately.
The AOC said Australia’s breaking qualifiers had been judged by a panel selected by the World DanceSport Federation featuring “nine independent international judges”. “Dr Rachael Gunn holds no position with AUSBreaking or DanceSport Australia in any capacity. She is simply an athlete who competed in the qualifying event which she won. There were no appeals from any athlete.
