Joel Tudor has been suspended by the WSL for an indefinite period
For “unsportsmanlike conduct”, “damage to the image of sport” and “verbal assault”
The greatest longboarder in history and current world champion was suspended by the WSL for an indefinite period for having violated the rule book in its chapters of “unsportsmanlike conduct”, “damage to the image of the sport” and “verbal assault”, the WSL announced.
The length of his suspension is under review.
Previously, Tudor posted about the WSL's treatment of female longboarders, showing in posts that female longboarders are more successful than female shortboarders.
The WSL called Tudor’s post “misleading” in a statement and promised responses that have not yet been published.
Tudor insisted on her social media, telling the WSL: “You can do better than this!”
In addition, in a video he suggested that longboarding be included in the Lowers finals.
All of these posts have now been deleted.
