From the Desk of Mr. Martin S.S. Walker
To whomever it may concern at the Sarzonian Tennis Federation,
I hope this letter finds you well, and I extend my congratulations on another splendid performance in the Scott Cup and the World Team Tennis Championship.
I was aware that you had suspended Mr. Adrian Treadway from the Scott Cup third place tie after he violated team rules for his possession of drugs. I did not feel I needed to take any further action and I felt the response to the action was adequate.
It has, however, been brought to my attention by my colleague, Mr. Nicolaus Amonescu, that Mr. Treadway's suspension is indefinite and has not been lifted. I am concerned by this extreme action against a player who committed a minor infraction.
Obviously no offense is to be taken lightly. But this infraction seems insignificant compared to other incidents in the past. Although I am hesitant to mention names, Ms. Joann Grimsley has been a particularly undisciplined presence during the Scott Cup at times, making comments about various surrounding controversies and starting several herself, including the very public disagreement between her and Mr. David Polley in the fourth Scott Cup. As I might remind you, this escalated into Ms. Grimsley attempting to confront Mr. Polley before assaulting Mr. Treadway - this, by the way, should demonstrate his willingness to cooperate and his interest in preventing wrongdoing. Ms. Grimsley was fined a record 25,000 Karsikas by the DOC, summoned to Sarzonian court and later arrested in Delaclava for misconduct at a match. Yet, she was never suspended for her actions. I would also remind you that Mr. Polley is guilty of misconduct and was fined for this infraction, which he managed to appeal.
In summation: We would honor Sarzonian sovereignty and respect whatever decision you shall make. However, Adrian Treadway is an exciting young talent with rapidly improving maturity, and it would be a shame to see him derailed from a promising future because of a small, anomalous mistake. We would welcome him back to the Scott Cup with open arms.
Sincerely,
Martin S.S. Walker

From the desk of Martin Amaker:
To Mr. Martin S.S. Walker
President, Delaclava Tennis Federation
Member, Delaclava Olympic Committee
I hope this letter finds you well, and I extend my gratitude on behalf of all of Sarzonia for another well-run Scott Cup and World Team Tennis Championship.
The suspension for marijuana possession is a team rule that our coaches firmly believe was the right course of action to take to ensure our players perform to their utmost. It is part of a contract each player signs before taking part in tennis in Sarzonia.
With that said, I am also aware of the violations by Mr. Polley and Ms. Grimsley that did not result in suspensions. We made both players aware that we would not tolerate such infractions in the future. I personally have spoken to Mr. Polley in the past about his conduct and about his role in representing Sarzonia on the international stage.
I have spoken with the coaches and I have advised them that, using my prerogative as president of the Incorporated Sarzonian Tennis Federation, I would lift the suspension as of today. The suspension was always intended to be one match pursuant to team rules. However, our coaches didn't see the need to lift the suspension after the third place tie. We felt we needed to send a message to Mr. Treadway that rules are meant to be followed and are there for a reason.
However, I have made it clear to our coaches that suspending Mr. Treadway on the eve of the third place tie sent that message loud and clear. I have also made it clear that Mr. Treadway should know he is welcome to compete in the next edition of the Scott-Giles Cup.
Thank you for taking the time to write to me. I hope that we continue to demonstrate how well our nations work and play together in the future.
Sincerely,
Martin Amaker
President, Incorporated Sarzonian Tennis Federation
