Here is what Jim had to say this morning about his fitness and his plans: He is as certain as it is possible to be this far out, that whether or not he has surgery he will be able to compete in the Paralympics. The timing of any surgery depends both on the availability of a hospital slot and the health status of a close family member who is facing serious illness and who is presently in hospital. Because of that illness, Jim will not be attending the Edmonton training camp scheduled for later this week.
On a related note, I should reiterate that Chris Daw's move to BC is entirely job related and has nothing to do with any concerns about Armstrong's status.
