WCA Announcement on BLD

[KConny]

I wonder if he's gonna keep cubing. If he does, wow, in two years, we will get an ass kicking of a lifetime.

[Jason Baum]

Wow... that is harsh, but fair.

[Ethan Rosen]

I'm shocked! I can't believe it. Well, now I geuss it's time for friendlier competition... or something

[Rama]

I wonder if he's going to go to any more comps. That would be interesting if he does.

He's still crazy at the 4x4 and 5x5

And on clock, pyraminx, 2x2x2, 3x3x3_oh, square-1, magic and master magic.

I wonder if he's gonna keep cubing. If he does, wow, in two years, we will get an ass kicking of a lifetime.

I have to disagree.
People are expertising more and more in one event, you have people who solve the Square-1 all day long, you have Brian Loftus who only does One-Handed everyday, alltough I heard he is also practising 2H now.
But after a while I think you really need to pick an event you like or your good at to just stand a chance for the number 1 place.

WC2009... WEW I think there will be a time-limit(looking at your past results) for people to enter there.
I am not sure tough, but look at how fast the cubing scene is growing.

Can someone please change the title of this thread???
"WCA will not use the competitor’s name in communication because the competitor is still under 18 years of age. For the same reason WCA distributed a detailed report on this matter only to a small number of involved parties. We kindly request our community to support the privacy of the competitor."

[Gunnar]

Wow, this feels wierd. Cheating is appearanlty a part of our sport too now.

I feel alittle sad, since I've seen him as a great cuber and motivator. Of course he still is one of the greatest cubers ever in other events, but I can help but wonder how fast he actually is at BLD doing it properly. Considering his times in other events, it wouldn't be so strange if he did those times in BLD, but now we don't know.

thats just.............................................. ohhh!
man [name removed]..what did you do...

Greetings to you...Dennis...

[Ethan Rosen]

I would like it if [name removed] made some sort of announcement. A lot of people are probably feeling uneasy, and I think it would help to at least get him to admit it.

[Hadley4000]

I almost don't know what to think about this. All the time when someone hears me mention doing a blindsolve, I told them, "That's nothing. There is a 14 year old who did a blindsolve in 54 seconds!"

This is going to shake the speedcubing community.

Return the prize money? That is interested. If he already spent that, paying back could hurt the finance of his family.

[Dcuber]

"started solving the cube again"
That's like immpossible unless u cheat
I'm kinda on the side against [name removed]
Now they'll prob. be less competition
but i'm sure he'll quit blindfold ONLY if he is guilty
