shes been working for a regional promotion doing commentary and interviews on fight pass. cant rmember the name of the company
My issue is that $40k is utterly ridiculous for legal expenses
The filing fee is $2500 and can be waived if you cannot afford it.
you dont have to pay $37,500 on a fucking lawyer, well, you do if its Howard Jacobs and Paul Scott.
The same Paul Scott that turns up at Anderson Silva's hearing and forgets his fucking laptop and all his notes. The same Paul Scott who at Jon Jones hearing admit he only did four hours research and everything he knew about turinabol he got from bodybuilding forums (but charged $2k for that 4 hours web browsing)
If you dont mind paying $40k to two chumps who leave their fucking laptops at home, fine.
This is one area where unionisation could be a benefit. To provide affordable, fair, dedicated legal support to athletes.
You may feel that USADA is fucking Jessica Penne over (we wont know until we see all the evidence), but if so, while USADA are fucking her at one end, vultures like Jacobs and Scott are fucking her at the other end.
The only people that are going to win in this situation are lawyers getting paid $40 grand
Maybe she wants to hire a better lawyer than the two idiots you mentioned? For an extensive trial along with research time, etc. there are lot of billable hours from any halfway decent law firm. Far more variable than the false dichotomy you dishonestly presented.
