I wouldn't be surprised if the committee put a clause in their future invitations that if you accept the invitation to participate then you are committing to making weight and taking part in all the activities and if you don't make the weight and participate in all activities then you will be held responsible for all expenses that the committee had put out for the invitee. What an embarrassment for our state. I could see if there was an injury but when you are that much over weight, why even make the trip? Make a phone call so they can let someone else participate. It seems if he was thinking that he would be given a pass. I guess he thought wrong. Time to grow up and be accountable for your own actions.
