Men's CSA Statement:
The
Men’s College Squash Association Executive Committee has withdrawn both
players involved in the unsportsmanlike incident during the national
team championship final from the CSA individual championships,
scheduled for this weekend at Chelsea Piers (Stamford, CT). There will
be discussion to see if further disciplinary measures need to be taken.
The
CSA wants to make clear that while there is an understanding of the
emotions and competitive behavior involved in playing for a national
title, especially in a team context, sporting and ethical conduct is
required of all players at all times. The behavior of the two players
failed to live up to the rules and the values of the CSA.
These
types of incidents are not typical of CSA matches, though the fact they
exist will provide an impetus to see if we can take appropriate action
to eliminate this type of behavior completely from the college game.
