Mr Sumpter is the Chairman of the British Aikido Board which is responsible for maintaining standards in UK Aikido in the name of the Sports Council.
BAB[Quote:]
The constituted purpose of the British Aikido Board is to further the advancement of all styles of Aikido in the United Kingdom and to establish and monitor standards of safety and behaviour conducive to the safety of practitioners of Aikido.[/unquote]
The above goes some way to explain why Mr Sumpter and the BAB were so comfortable in offering their full support of the fraudulent claims of Mr Jack Poole.
