It has been brought to our attention that "Sri Chinmoy" - of the Sri Chinmoy
Marathon Team - has been abusing his disciples -
read www.aboutsrichinmoy.com

We have decided not to participate in his races anymore. We hope you will make
some type of similar decision after reading the testimonials of his disciples.
We decided to talk to some of those disciples - a few who had been involved in
running marathons and ultra marathons - we heard stories of sexual and
emotional abuse.

We found no indication of fabrications or revengeful "apostates" as one poster
on usenet seems to call those who were abused.

We feel we can no longer support these races by participating.
