BREAKING NEWS! CAMPELLO & SWIFTY OUT OF PRYDE/JP!
The reason seems to be this photo, showing Campello and Swifty partying during last weekend's drag queen celebration at Oahu!
Mr Neil Pryde himself, Pryde's group big boss, said that athletes contracts would be annulled!
The official notification to the athletes was done through JP's brand manager Martin Brandner.
"...this has been a real slap in the face. We spent a lot of time and energy building your profiles. I feel betrayed..."
This means disciplinary proceedings can be taken against the athletes by the professional windsurfing association and the English and Venezuelian national disciplinary authorities.
No official response from the athletes yet.
...some 15 hours later...
Edit: It's obvious that it was about an April fools joke on two of the most talented (and respected from us) athletes in modern windsurfing. Ricardo & Robby, you guys rock whatever the conditions (from Pozo to Jaws)! You inspire us, even when you are partying!
