BOOZ ACCUSES SCHULTZ OF BACKING

BOOZ ACCUSES SCHULTZ OF BACKING BRAIN PILL DEAL
by Bill Goichberg

In what appears to be one of his most bizarre charges yet, Stan Booz, co-chair of the USCF Finance Committee, has suggested that USCF Secretary Don Schultz said that USCF "will get a lot of funding from these folks" (Natrol), and that those who wonder how the Natrol alliance came about should "ask Don Schultz." This charge is especially odd because Schultz has been highly critical of the USCF-Natrol alliance.

Schultz called the charge by Booz "an outright lie" and submitted a motion by objections procedure calling for the Board to ask President Beatriz Marinello to "explain how the deal came about, who was involved and who if anyone said we'll get a lot of funding from these folks."

Following is a post by Booz on Yahoo that includes a previous Booz post, and a reply by Schultz.

Don says we'll get a lot of funding from these folks.

Is Mr. Booz stating that Don Schultz signed up the Federation with Natrol or is he saying that Mr. Schultz let Federation members know that the USCF was backing a company that falsely advertises?

For those that wonder who was behind this, ask Don Schultz.

What an OUTRIGHT LIE!

I shall make the following motion to the Executive Board:

Stan Booz, an advisor to President Marinello and Chair of Co-Chair of the Finance Committee has stated on the Internet that Don (with the clear implication that I am that Don) said we will get a lot of funding from the Brain Pill people. This is his second implication to a wide audience that IStan has made implying I had some involvement in the Brain Pill Deal. I therefore move by objections procedure that President Marinello explain how the deal came about, who was involved and who if anyone said we'll get a lot of funding from these folks. Rationale for Motion: I personally have no idea as to the answers of these questions but since Stan Booz has brought since this question to the attention of the world I think we need to find out. If there are no objections to this motion by June 24 it passes.
