It has been an humbling experience for me the past few days.

USACA president Gladstone Dainty.

I am issuing a retraction of all the comments I made with regards to Mr. Gladstone Dainty,  in my article titled, USACA and CRICKET HOLDINGS AMERICA – ONE AND TH SAME, and posted on the internet on May 13, 2011.

I am making a general retraction as well as specific retractions of the statements suggesting that 1) Mr. Dainty’s actions were “an opportunity for self-aggrandizement,” 2) that Mr. Dainty is a part of a “dysfunctional clique” 3) that Mr. Dainty is a part of “a band of self -serving imposters,” 4) that Mr. Dainty is a part of an “OLD BOYS CLUB” that predetermined the outcome of organizational votes, 5) that Mr. Dainty was “in the thick” of anything inappropriate, 6) that Mr Dainty and “his #$@* kissers” inappropriately appointed two candidates , 7) that Mr Dainty ia a “slimy cheat,”  and that Mr Dainty was motivated to, or actually received any inappropriate financial gain as a result of his activities with the USACA.

In addition to the retraction above, I am issuing a formal apology to Mr Gladstone Dainty for the inaccurate comments made about him in the May 13, 2011 article, and for the potential injury that these may have caused to his character, both personal and professional.
