Andreas Jonsson To Boycott World Cup Next Season

[beercellar]

AJ's statement which I've just put on his website:

 

Me and my team members are tired of all phone calls which we've been answering constantly. Everyone's asking what I'm planning and whether I'm going to be "the second Holta". It's true I'm trying to get Polish citizenship but that's been happening for quite a bit of time, for at least two months. But now it's been linked with that frustrating situation from the Swedish Championships final and the storm has started! I have no intention at all to renounce my Swedish citizenship and my efforts to get a Polish passport have nothing to do with speedway or representing my country. For a few years I've been spending lots of my time in Poland and I lead a normal daily life here. Not only my speedway life. I run a company here as well. Every year I'm more and more tied to this country by my business. Unfortunately, being Swedish I encounter many restrictions when it comes to my business activities in Poland. Some things are forbidden, others are restricted for foreigners here. For example investments. I spend in Poland more time and I'm more involved in some Polish issues than some of Polish emigrants who live in England, Sweden or Germany. So all my efforts to get Polish citizenship are caused strictly by business reasons. I run a company in Poland and I want to lead my business activities in Poland in a more normal and easier way. That's all.

 

that makes sence AJ good luck, sod the rest

Was going to say, where or when did Jonsson actually say he wanted to ride for Poland?

 

Seems to me that he is annoyed with the Swedish authorities at fining him for not riding in what he considered dangerous conditions (fair enough) and that he coincidentally is applying for Polish citizenship for business reasons and the journalists writing these articles are putting two and two together and making five.

AJAJAJ says today in Aftonbladet that his threat of boycotting the Swedish World Cup team was just bluff.

 

He says he wanted to get some reactions about how the Swedish Motorcyclesports Federation (SVEMO) was run.

 

if you "translates" that to English it means AJ himself wanted more attention. he has done similar things before when he felt

that he didnt got enough attention from media.
