This is a typical reader reaction to the AMA fining Mat Mladin $5000 and docking him one point for comments Mladin made in a post-qualifying press conference at Loudon.

“As a AMA member I am very disappointed the AMA has fined Mat Mladin regarding his comments in last week’s press conference. Objectively listening to the file downloaded from Roadracing World’s website it is evident that personal feelings entered into the decision to fine Mladin. The interview was courteous, truthful and not worthy of any type of penalty. If the press published the truth, perhaps racers would not be in the position to voice their opinions of the truth. I am glad Mat spoke his mind and set the record straight.”
