This Statement of Claim names four persons in the legal action: Mr. Rafael
Pinkhasov Pinchas as plaintiff and Mr. Jerald Jordan, Dr. Donalda Ammons and Mr.
John Lovett as defendants.

This Statement of Claim is going to be filed with the Lausanne,
Switzerland-based Tribunal Arbitral du Sport or Court of Arbitration for Sport ( in brief,
"TAS/CAS" )

The other lawsuit action - Mr. Pinkhasov Pinchas against Mr. Jordan and Dr.
Ammons ( USA District Court for the District of Maryland, Civil Action Number
WMN-03-857 ) - filed at Baltimore, Maryland, USA, the "home state" of Mr.
Jordan and Dr. Ammons, was closed recently. One of the main reasons of this
lawsuit's closure was that "as a general rule, courts will not interfere with the
internal affairs of a voluntary membership organization" such as the CISS, and
that "whether the CISS violated its internal rules is not simply a question
for this Court ( that is, USA District Court for the District of Maryland ) to
determine."

343 CISS RULE VIOLATIONS

As you may notice throughout the contents of the Statement of Claim (
Paragraph 14 through 127 ) that among the allegations are massive rule violations
in the CISS legal system by the so-called "successful, law-abiding, competent
"professionals" and celebrated elite CISS officials" - Mr. Jordan, Dr. Ammons
and Mr. Lovett.

It is alleged that a total of 343 rule violations in the CISS Constitution,
Deaflympic Games Regulations and Deaf World Championship Regulations were
committed by Mr. Jordan, Dr. Ammons and Mr. Lovett between May, 2000 and July, 2003!

This year alone, that is, in the span of just six months ( between February
and July, 2003 ) Mr. Jordan, Dr. Ammons and Mr. Lovett, by ineptly,
irresponsibly, inefficiently and in their self-interest handling 54 different
CISS-related cases, broke an aggregate record of 127 rule violations!

"WHO IS THE CISS PERSONA-NON-GRATA?"

The Statement of Claim also deals with its prime issue of "Who is the CISS
Persona-Non-Grata?"

Throughout 2002 and 2003, Mr. Jordan, Dr. Ammons and Mr. Lovett, have
publicly been labeling
Mr. Pinkhasov Pinchas as the "CISS-Persona-Non-Grata!"

However, because of the clear violation of various CISS Constitution rules,
these three persons since April 1, 2000 and to this day are still holding the
elective and/or appointed office positions in the CISS ILLEGALLY: Mr. Lovett
as the CISS President and Member of the CISS Legal Commission, Dr. Ammons as
the CISS Secretary General and Member of the CISS Legal Commssion and Mr.
Jordan as the Member of the CISS Legal Commission.

Consequently, it is Mr. Pinkhasov Pinchas' strong position and irrefutable
argument that Mr. Lovett, Dr. Ammons and Mr. Jordan as the still
unconstitutionally-elected and/or appointed CISS officials as well as the reputed abusers of
the legal system of the CISS are themselves the ones who are the "CISS
Personas-Non-Grata" ( not Mr. Pinkhasov Pinchas )!

As you may now see and realize that the CISS, the world's oldest sports
organization among the disabled people, is still led and administered by those
persons who continue to conduct their business in the manners of lawlessness and
disorder, cronyism and autocracy, stagnation and anarchism!

WILL DEAF LEADERS-ANARCHISTS JORDAN, AMMONS AND LOVETT AGREE TO SUBMIT TO THE
JURISDICTION OF TAS/CAS? YES OR NO?

Please be advised that the Statement of Claim will be submitted to TAS/CAS -
a well respected and neutral international judicial sports organization -
ONLY in the event both opposing parties mutually and in good faith agree to
accept to submit to the full jurisdiction of TAS/CAS.

Mr. Pinkhasov Pinchas has already fully and unequivocally agreed to submit
to the jurisdiction of TAS/CAS, while Mr. Jordan, Dr. Ammons and Mr. Lovett
have not done so yet.

Thus, Mr. Jordan, Dr. Ammons and Mr. Lovett as the long-time advocates and
fighters for equal and just rights of the deaf athletes worldwide, must still
decide on whether they three will - via their deeds, not words - genuinely
accept, respect and recognize the existence of TAS/CAS by agreeing to
arbitrate the Statement of Claim under the full jurisdiction of this specialized
international sports dispute court in Lausanne.

In the meantime, we would like to express our thanks to many organizations
and persons for supplying information which enabled Mr. Pinkhasov Pinchas to
compile the list of CISS rule violations, including their verification of facts.
