General

  • The eighth youngest player ever admitted into PCAG competition
  • Recognized as being one of the best young players on the scene since Serena Duncan's debut eight years ago
  • Defeated Bryce Goran, eliminating him from competition (surprisingly early in the season)
  • Was honoured to play against Ryan Cahill, even she lost very very badly.


Scandal

  • As a child, suffered from cognitive and developmental disorders, and was treated with a range of experimental enhancement medications
  • These enhancements are considered to be very unsporting, by some in the community.
  • A specially convened committee of PCAG officials judged in favour of allowing her to compete
  • The controversy is about her participation and the fundamental definition of cognitive enhancement by drugs
  • A campaign against her entrance into the PCAG is being led by Jonas Sawgrass of the Alliance for Clean Players
  • On 17-JUN-05, during her debut match (against Mikhail Terpening), protesters bought out a block of tickets and jeered the 14-year-old athlete.
    • She left the stage crying.
    • She still managed to win against Terpening.
  • Following her 13-JUL-05 win against Bryce Goran, opponents to Champaign insisted it to be clear evidence of "enhanced" players defeating "clean" players.
  • Her 12-SEP-05 loss to Ryan Cahill was not seen as a victory for "clean" players
