Dwyane Adams - Fake Or Real?

[[old] Niall]

Okay people, there's nothing to see here. Let's step away from the thread and go about our normal lives (you do have lives outside this forum, right?).<br /><br />I suspect verification/validation will have to wait until C2 open their doors tomorrow. So I bid you au revoir 'til then....

[[old] John Rupp]

Mark,<br /><br />Are you questioning Chad's integrity?

[[old] j.d]

If this time is verified does Dwayne get a plane ticket to boston?<br /><br />jd

To request your entry code, simply follow the detailed instructions that will be given to you when you try to rank a piece requiring a ranking code. If the piece is a "top 3" result based on the prior season's rankings, you will have the option of making the piece "verifiable" and the Source Code next the piece in the ranking will then show up as "IND_V". In order for Concept2 to verify a result, the following must be emailed to Bill at billp@concept2.com:<br /><br />Your email address used for the ranking <br />Your first and last name and the country you live in <br />Details of your row (time, distance, location) <br />The location of the rowing machine used (top 3 ranking spots must be rowed on a publicly accessible machine) <br />Your witness contact information <br />Your user name that you use to log on to the ranking </i><br /><br />Cheers -- Mark<br />

I hope it does get an IND_V. Then Dwayne can thank me for taking all this doubt about his ability out of the spot light, the doubt that he has had round his neck for years.<br /><br />I am the only one brave enough to take this the full course. The last thing I want is to see Dwayne fail.<br /><br />

They're something like, "Well, I can understand how Chad questioned Dwayne's times, because I question them too."<br /><br />They rationalize bad behaviour because they have doubt too -- but no evidence, no facts. How would that settle with you if you were on Dwayne's end of this?<br /><br />They question Dwayne's integrity by stepping aside and not calling Chad for his impertinence (spelling?). I'll stick with my statement that there are a number of people that would like to see Dwayne fail.<br /><br />Regards -- Mark

Congratulations Dwayne. An awesome time considering your lack of specific preparation. Will you be racing the Open or the 40-49 in Boston?
