I am dissappointed, with Chuene. It makes you wonder about the allegations which were made against him, and the saga surrounding him and his PA , about the sording affair and huge salary hikes, maybe ASA needs to revisit that as well, shows he is not an hounarable man, pity his family in this, again, lies, lies, deception.

Leonard Cheune is a disgrace to this country, he lied to the whole nation. Was he desperate so much for a medal that he ignored recommendation by the doctor for Caster not to enter the race. He has also emberrased us international world he must be fired immediatly

What a shame...that a man can get so desperate to the point of lying to this extent. Yes SA embarrassed themselves at the Olympics, but do officials have to stoop to such levels to get a medal? Don't waste taxpayers money setting up a commission of enquiry...the guy has admitted to lying to the public...to the world. He should be fired....or resign in the next few days. Shame on you Chuene. You make us Africans look bad!

No, please don't apologise. Just Go! Uit! Uit! Uit! Liar, liar pants on fire! 'Sorry' is like washing feet - they stink soon enough!

Chuene apologized for his lies and conceit regarding the handling of the incident, and rightly so. But where is his apology for his unfounded claims with regards to a RACIAL CONSPIRACY on this issue?? He must have known from the start that playing the race card was nothing but a ruse to keep the public away from the truth. What is worrying is that the race card was the first weapon in his armory that he succumbed too. With this he has succeeded in damaging race relationships in this country and set it back for some time. This was clearly visible in the comments from the public on this website regarding his remarks. This is not the first PROOF that politicians and their ilk identify the race card as their weapon of choice each and every time that they are confronted with evidence of their incompetence. What is amazing is that Cheune was so vocal about it and seems to be getting away without an apology to other race groups at which he so “eloquently” flipped the race card. Shame on you Chuene, shame on you.

Does this mean we're not going to war with the Rest of the World?
Does this mean we're not going to ask the UN to ban every country from Australia to Zambia?

Damn, just when the news was getting interesting.

South African athletics officials, some government officals and a large number of the South African public have made South Africa a laughing stock over this so-called Castergate. Shame on you all. And one can only feel so sorry for Caster himself - he has been put through hell I'm sure. Needlessly. And selfishly.

I wonder what Mr. Malema, Mrs. Madikizela Mandela and the rest of the home coming brigade think about their comrade that lead them into this controversial situation. Couldn't Mr Chuene have thought he would ambaras his comrades if his lies was found out? I am shure Mr. Malema and Kie wouldn't have caried on the way they did if they knew there was a snake in the grass? Mr. Chuene sold out his own party and Caster!

So our Minister of Sport wants to go to the Third World War over this. Based on Chuene's lies. What a joke. The whole world is laughing at SA. Julius is not the only clown!

As an athlete, I will refuse to pay my licence fee on 01 January 2009 unless Chuene is removed from the ASA. I would urge all other athletes to follow suit. Hit them where it hurts, in their pocket!
