Chabot suspended

Alexandre Chabot just won the French Championship for the sixth time, but the The French Climbing Federation didnt´t give Chabot any time for celebration. The day before the world cup in Chamonix, Chabot was called in front of the national commission (FFME), for having masked the logo of the brand Quechua. Quechua is official sponsor for the French national team. First Chabot was sactionned the 12th of may and given four months suspension from competitions without restrictions, for the same reason. The final pursuit wasn´t made before after the Europeen Championship (29. - 30. June 2006). The final result, for not having worn the famous logo on his official gear, is that Alexandre Chabot has to stop competing for another eight months (for the french team). The decision of the french assosiation is a bit surprising, since Chabots position has been unchanged since last season!
