I am not happy to see Bella Camerford and Stephen Bayliss win a race because they are both part of the Team TBB (teamtbb.com) and have been or are currently coached (not really clear on the website) by notorious Brett Sutton (famous triathlon coach and a convicted paedophile - check wikipedia.org). I will write a special article about this during the week.

More will follow, send in your race reports…

    I understand where you are coming from avout BRETT SUTTON but I personally know both Stephen and Bella, and they are magical people and I am stoked that all there hard effort adn training has paid off and that they have won! Its unfortunate that the coach of their team is messed up but that does not make them - so be happy for aperson who has succeeded fairly without cheating!

    Any PRO athlete that has worked with Brett Sutton, after his conviction is in my view a criminal as well because they advertise a paediphile. I have been to races like Ironman UK in which Brett Sutton athletes still openly give praise to their coach during pasta parties. I have never seen Stephen and Bella write an open letter saying they are sorry to have been associated with such a monster.

    I can not imagine any other sport in which a convicted paedophile can be so respected just because few of his athletes have won few races.

    Not to mention that a coach of such morality I think has no problems to use any means necessary to reach his goals - meaning I would be highly surprised if one of main methods of Brett Sutton was not doping. If one has the stomach to rape children I think telling his clients to take sport enhancing drugs is like having a cup of tea.

    I am sure Stephen and Bella are fun when you have a drink with them but the fact is they are associated and have advertised a convicted child molester and for that they deserve no respect no matter how cool or succesful they are in their sport.

    After all this is just a sport, a hobby, while this guy, Brett Sutton, has raped children.

    I am amazed as to how irrational people can be not to see how horrible it is.
