An interview about last years The American with Randy Bernard
Posted by TheRoanBadger on August 20, 2015, 6:46 pm
About last year; at The American Finals, there were accusations of wrongdoing among some of the Final Four contestants in the calf roping. Have you had any resolution to that situation?
No. What we’ve done is turned it over to the proper legal authorities and have asked them to address the issue. As far as I know, there’s still an investigation going on.
Has there been any money awarded to the winners in that event yet?
Nope, not in the calf roping.
Will anybody be barred from competing as a result in 2016?
That’s really hard. I never want to be a person who puts doubt in our own industry. If the proper authorities came back and said, “There is something here,” then we would have to address it. But until that time, my opinion is that we have to move forward until something is handed down.
When you reference “proper authorities,” could you clarify who you mean?
We put this out to several different law authorities, everyone from the FBI to the Texas Rangers to the Arlington Police Department.
Have you received any updates from any of those agencies on their investigation?
We’ve had some discussions with some, but at this point, until everything has been completed, it’s not fair to talk about it. What rulebook and procedural changes have you made for the coming year to keep those problems at bay?
We have a plan, but we won’t announce it until October. But this is something we’ve sat down in many meetings to determine a plan that makes this the best for the fans and to make sure the event has the utmost integrity.

Anyone care to inform or speculate on what happened? This is the first I've heard of this.

There is some speculation that 3 of the top four fixed it so the guy eligible for the million would win and then they all split it.
