I think if the drivers confidence is shot, then yes he should not go...but my question is one that doesnt question the decision not to race in Vancouver, but deciding to be in a sport that involves speed/danger no matter where they are competing.

If I am part of the Dutch Bobsled federation...this guy is off the team for good. Way better ways for them to direct their resources I would think.
