Emily Sarsfield has been let down by the (former) SSGB and the BOA. Without the athletes these organisations wouldn't exist and they forget that sometimes! ! SSGB changed the criteria for ski cross at the beginning of this season and they failed to inform Emily or the changes!! And then finally to put egg on face, Emily and Sarah Sauvey both meet the criteria for qualification, BOA were awarded 2 quota spots, but only took one spot and Emily missed out on the Olympics with racers ranked lower than her now in the Olympics! Absolute madness!! Bring on 2014 and hopefully some common sense from the BOA the new NGB! Dan (Emily Sarsfield's manager) Hi Dougie,

I have just googled your name as I could not understand why you were not racing and assumed you had an injury during practice at Whistler. How awful for you and your family, we are very sorry. Jennifer still talks about you when you gave her ski lessons. DO NOT GIVE UP. Jean and Jennifer Turner Bearsden Ski Club Hi Duggie,

While I can only guess how bad you and your family must feel right now lets ensure that in 4 years the one thing that wont stop you being an Olympian is finance and inept administration-Hope to be able to help in the future -have a great rest of the season As a lifelong skier and BSC supporter I was totally gutted to hear of your omission and that we wont watch you podium at Vancouver(PMA !!)

I can only begin to understand how dissapointed you must be. It must of came as a huge blow, especially after being told your times would of been good enough to get you in. Im sure this will only drive you to try, and train even harder to become even better. Take on one challenge at a time, and dont let the past affect the future in a negative way. We all still believe in you, and you must continue to believe in yourself. Now go kick everyones ass next year, you know you can do it! Hi Dougie,

It really is a disgrace how our best male skier isn't at Vancouver. The criteria to qualify really is a shambles, why not let common sense prevail and pick our best athletes like every other sport. But just like Crawford & Lynne said "Don’t get too down about it all", instead i am sure it will spur you on to greater things. We, your supporters, are 110% behind you and will support you to the very end. You've had a great debut season in a very experienced & quality World cup field. Showing us all that you can mix it with the best. I am looking forward to seeing you back on the World cup circuit for the final two weeks and all the best for the rest of the season & many more to come. Ewen Hi Dougie

So sorry to hear about the olympics was really looking forward to seeing your wee catsuit go flying past! Keep it up though. Would love to see a Scottish skier born and bred at the olympics, from the lecht to the olympics! Hope all goes well and if you need a hand with funding in the future get in touch and we'll get some of the old ski boys together and raise some money! Take Care Dougie, Tom Hello Dougie,
