I was scanning the sports section of a newspaper the other day and chanced upon the results of the European table tennis championship.

On April 26th, USATT received a copy of the arbitrator’s report from retained outside counsel stemming from the American Arbitration Association (AAA) hearing that resulted from a complaint filed by athletes Raghu Nadmichettu and Mark Hazinski. These two athletes were suspended for one year based upon a complaint filed by the USATT Board of Directors and a hearing decision made by the USATT Ethics Committee for the actions they took at the U.S. Nationals in December of 2009. The athletes desired to participate in the 2010 Nationals Team Trials held at Texas Wesleyan University on March 3 – 4 (a U.S. Olympic Committee protected event). As a result, an expedited AAA hearing was held on March 3, 2010. The result of that hearing was that Raghu Nadmichettu and Mark Hazinski were allowed to enter that March 3 - 4 event and their suspensions were vacated.
