Injuries Mount From Slave Labour Conditions

Written by Australian Warlord at 10:37 24/1-2020

  After a spate of injuries, investigations are underway into Australian Warlord's violations of maximum work hours for cyclists.
  Five cyclists are currently listed as injured in the notorious outfit, bringing the injury count to ten in recent weeks; and worse, already injured cyclists are being forced back into the saddle and made to continue slaving away for hours that have shocked even Chinese slave labour bosses.
  
  This influx of injuries might have been explained away, if it wasn't for a Chat Tabloids’s recording of AW's manager boasting about how he managed to get three of his cyclists to race up to fifteen races straight with DP (health) at below 40% without any of them picking up injuries until their final race.
  Reports are sketchy, but Tabloids reporters say that rumours are that the first cyclist injured collapsed in the saddle and tumbled down an embankment.
  And incidents have continued mounting since.
  
  According to officials who declined to have their names on the record, suspicions are that Rustgold is working his cyclists to the bone to achieve an "unkucky score" close to the out of luck Alpine outfit.
  When we attempted to talk to the AW manager about this suspicion, Australian Warlord's receptionist stated that Rustgold wasn't available for interviews; however the OCM Riders Association is expected to intervene for the safety of the remaining cyclists.

  Well that doesn't work in Div 3, and particularly not when you end a race with 4 injured cyclists.
  
  Btw: The count is up to 11 injured in the last couple of weeks (not counting the cyclist picking up a second injury).

  Ah, the same tour my team just completed but we managed only to get two riders injured which they have since returned from. They even raced injured scoring results. LOL!!

  Thanks for the offer Nooky, but I have our cyclists on self-employed contracts, which means labour laws don't apply. Only those fool enough not to be able to avoid it have workers on PAYE, and even then they simply find a union to bribe.
  
  Although, that military advice, we don't have the word "warlord" in our name for nothing...

  I've got a good hideout, far away from inspections. Besides traitional labour laws do not rely apply down here. In return we could use some military advice, given recent events.
