Harmless boosters. Why not?

[igorponger]

Boosters free of toxicants. Why not?

The reason why ITTF disapproved the "mitigated" booster rule 2.4.7 is kept unspoken so far.
Vladimir Samsonov, the applicant person for the rule, did refused to give us any good clarification. So, we are left with making our own conjectures and guesses about the ITTF inner motives.

What is your idea about the possible reason for ITTF to not agree the proposal of healthy boosters.?
To me, it looks a sound idea, at first glance it looks a sound idea anyway.

Oh I can tell you. This one is easy.

It has nothing to do if it's healthy or unhealthy.

The top table tennis brands don't want you buying cheaper rubbers & boosting them yourself when they can boost them at the factory for you and charge $90+ for them.

It's all about business in partnerships and making money. Nothing more.

having full scheduling (ie, WTT) is extremely unhealthy.
And my views are shared and agreed with many European coaches too (national player / team coaches) from my recent trip to France. Not to mention the numerous Asian coaches I work with too, as well as the other international coaches I have known for years.

actually there might be something more: High institutions and governments hate admitting that they might have made a bid of a hasty decision into a law or rule.

The decision to ban boosters was made based on health reasons and I support this . to simply ban ALL booster was a "fuckup", that could never be policed and never was.
Do now bring out a rule -change allowing boosters that are not damaging to anybody's health demands a lot of cojones and all i can say to ITTF is GROW a PAIR.

Yeah it's a total nonsense: the official language in the Olympics is... French, since Pierre de Coubertin introduced the modern Olympics.

And the English language is far more convenient for 6.5 billions people on this planet, India for example is way more fluent in English than many other countries, all of those UK's ex colonies now part of the Commonwealth, Hong Kong included, know how to speak english fluently.

I think it's only about geopolitics and China's power: chinese athletes have never made ANY effort to learn english properly, let's the indian athletes speak hindi in that case, or any other language spoken regionaly in India (we all know there are too many of them !!!).

English is spoken in more than 160 countries because it's easier to learn, simple as that. French people learn it, spanish spoken people use it fluently too, portuguese spoken people use it fluently too, same in Africa, or in Maghreb/arabian peninsula regions. Chinese athletes have to comply.

Now you understand the sh*t it is to play 18 pro league matches in a season + the playoffs + the ETTU leagues + the WTT. When I tell everyone the WTT system is intended to kill Europe, I meant it. Quadri said it many times, he prefers playing for the clubs/teams he has a contract with, that find him a house, sometimes that pay the rent, than investing money in the WTT circus. We all it's China that is imposing that system, because their athletes only play 2 weeks in the CSL plus 2 weeks in the nationals. Why do you think the WTT schedules only star Contenders or Contenders or Feeders events in Europe and the Americas in July ?

They never will !!
Not only are there 1.4 billions of them, there is also a deep-rooted belief that they are indeed the original master race of the world.
It's in the blood.
