The lawsuit was ultimately dismissed in February 2005.[9] Shortly thereafter, Pfenning, at the time the group's Acting President, announced that the group will be dissolved.[10] Eventually, ISU decided that Furst-Tombor, along with Stapleford, Pfenning, Lindgren, Jon Jackson and Jan Garden, were excluded from the group.[1] References1. ^1 2 {{cite news|title=ISU excludes six officials for breakaway attempt|url=http://www.espn.com/espn/wire?section=figureskating&id=2020608|accessdate=17 February 2018|work=ESPN|agency=Associated Press|date=24 March 2005}} 2. ^1 2 3 4 5 {{cite news|last1=Elliott|first1=Helene|title=Skating Rebellion Underway|url=http://articles.latimes.com/2003/mar/26/sports/sp-skate26|accessdate=17 February 2018|work=Los Angeles Times|date=26 March 2003}} 3. ^1 {{cite news|last1=Hersh|first1=Phil|title=Former ISU officials hypocritical|url=http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2003-03-31/sports/0303310193_1_isu-president-ottavio-cinquanta-world-skating-federation-wsf|accessdate=17 February 2018|work=Chicago Tribune|date=31 March 2003}} 4. ^1 2 {{cite news|last1=Elliott|first1=Helene|title=Breakaway Group Condemned by ISU|url=http://articles.latimes.com/2003/apr/02/sports/sp-skating2|accessdate=17 February 2018|work=Los Angeles Times|date=2 April 2003}} 5. ^{{cite news|last1=Elliott|first1=Helene|title=Rogge Won't Meet With Skate Group|url=http://articles.latimes.com/2003/mar/29/sports/sp-skatebox29|accessdate=17 February 2018|work=Los Angeles Times|date=29 March 2003}} 6. ^{{cite news|last1=Vecsey|first1=George|title=Sports of The Times; Old Skating Hands Ripping the System|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2003/03/26/sports/sports-of-the-times-old-skating-hands-ripping-the-system.html|accessdate=18 February 2018|work=The New York Times|date=26 March 2003}} 7. ^{{cite news|last1=Elliott|first1=Helene|title=Hungarian Judge Is Dismissed|url=http://articles.latimes.com/2003/mar/27/sports/sp-skatebox27|accessdate=17 February 2018|work=Los Angeles Times|date=27 March 2003}} 8. ^{{cite news|last1=Smith|first1=Beverley|title=Members warned off new group|url=https://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/members-warned-off-new-group/article22394066/|accessdate=18 February 2018|work=The Globe and Mail|date=26 April 2003}} 9. ^{{cite book|last1=Slack|first1=Trevor|last2=Parent|first2=Milena M.|title=Understanding Sport Organizations: The Application of Organization Theory|date=2006|publisher=Human Kinetics|isbn=0-7360-5639-4|page=196|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=6bs9-i2bD3cC&pg=PA196#v=onepage&q&f=false|accessdate=17 February 2018}} 10. ^{{cite web|title=Statement from Ron Pfenning|url=http://www.worldskating.org:80/news/pfenning-release-15feb2005.shtml|website=World Skating Federation|accessdate=26 February 2018|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20071219102046/http://www.worldskating.org:80/news/pfenning-release-15feb2005.shtml|archivedate=19 December 2007|date=15 February 2005}} External links
