Why won't she sign and what kind of message is it sending?
She's just a girl, who cares??
why should she sign it. she has her own medical support team thats one of the best in the world and signing it means she HAS to appear at uk athletics events - obviously not ideal when she's training for a marathon.
She's well within her rights not to sign it, but she shouldn't be exempt from the rules that the other athletes have to follow (not to mention that she's probably the richest of the lot as well anyway).
It should be that you only get funding if you sign the contract.
I doubt Paula gets funding i.e. some sort of wage/stipend as she would means test out. I think by not signing the contract the only thing she wouldn\'t have access to is UKA\'s medical staff. Although I would imgaine she has the funds to pay for this herself?
