A 17-year-old Nepali ski racer coached by Richard Morley, the British businessman who set up the Nepal Ski Team, has vanished from their base in Les Arcs.
Morley has reported that Uttam Rayamajhi recently joined the Jehovah's Witnesses and then disappeared. This report from Javno.com.
| Quote: |
| "Uttam Rayamajhi, 17, vanished from the team ski base at Les Arcs on Monday with no money, minimal French and very little clothing. He has not been seen or heard from since and team members fear for his safety," Richard Morley said in a statement. |
The police in Bourg St Maurice have reportedly drawn a blank.

Sadly its not quite so simple....Uttam did not join the Witnessess - that was a convenient decoy put up by Reuters to protect the real culprits - namely the IOC. He visited the Church once because he was so depressed by the sheer corruption and indifference of the Olympic system - but the press cannot say that because the multi billion dollar industry of sport has control over the media as well -
Uttam hated it all - and probably killed himself over it.....we are all devastated at the team base.....and we will probably dissolve the whole team now.
enjoy the pistes folks - but never put your kids into the sport - it will only end in tears.

Richard, I've PMed you (see top right for access).
You're making significant allegations against the IOC and Reuters. Unfortunately people have been known to assume the IDs of real people on internet forums, though there's nothing in what you say to question its authenticity. It's just pretty strong stuff.
Let's hope that Uttam is found safe and well, as a first priority. That's the most important thing.

Thanks for your kindness
My e-mail address is supplied to the web site - it is the same e-mail address that I use for communications to Reuters, the IOC and the NOC
Investigations by the Website may establish this.
I am legal guardian to Uttam - I have known him and his family since he was 5 years old. He was once a happy and wonderful kid who was an incredible athlete. I saw his spirit crushed by despair day by day as the whole system showed utter indifference to him and our circumstances. I am extremely distraught - the whole team (there are 6 of us) is devastated. And it seems that no one in authority gives a damn. What a wonderful world!
Thank you all for listening.

Richard Morley,
1st can I say that I really do hope Uttam turns up safe and well.
On the topic of whether Nepal really needs another draw on it’s extremely limited resources. I have done quite a bit of work in Nepal over the years and to put it as politely as I can, do you really think that's what Nepal really needs. A ski team.
OK, sitting in the bar of the Yak and Yeti (5 star hotel for those who have never been there, average cost of 1 night = yearly income for the average local) you may find some rich tourist who, condescendingly, approve of the quaintness of it all. But just walking around Thamel I would not think you'd come across many locals who thought it was a good idea, even in the capital. After you get outside the "relative" wealth of the capital I think you would find most people say in Pokhara or Namche in this extremely poor country who would rather you spent you time on other "stuff".
It is always easy to blame everyone (anyone) else for perceived failings, but a "ski team" that turns up without even the correct skis maybe needs to look at it's management ?.
Complaining that it’s not fair whilst pointing the finger at the IOC in ski forums and waiting some shop or other to lend you some gear is to say the least a little strange for a national ski team manager.

Everyone knows the IOC is if not corrupt, dodgy. Look at their premises in Lausanne and how many of the committee have had family connections with previous committee members.

Wayne, whatever you may feel are the rights and wrongs of having a ski team I think that the only thing that matters right now is the safety of Uttam.
You can debate the team etc at a later date.
Richard Morley, I pray that he is found safe and well.

rungsp,
Yeah I agree fully, think it may have been better for some people never to have met other people though
But having heard this story, and many variations of it, around Pokhara and on the way to MBC, over the years the only thing I say for certain is that the poor boy is not where he should be at the moment and it ain't his fault.
If he had been left where he was we wouldn't be chatting about it.
I think the ski team references just point out that there is something wrong with this whole thing and we will prob never get the truth

What a great quote.... well to be honest all your writing is really something. IOC is to blame because of what? Because this kid can't compete at Olympics? Because IOC doesn't want to finance him, and most probably you? Or is there any other reason? Sure those bad guys at IOC trashed my dreams of being Olympic winner too... if you believe that. In reality, I was smart enough (at age probably half yours) that I realized myself I just wasn't good enough to win Olympics... or just compete at Olympics. My life didn't ended, I didn't blame IOC, Reuters and who knows who else for this. It was me, who was not good enough not someone at IOC.
If this kid really made suicide because of this, then it's not IOC to blame, but you and pretty much only you. If you are/were his coach, his spare father etc. you should take a bit better care about him, and about raising him as human and as athlete. Yeah dreams sometimes do get true, but in huge part they don't. In skiing, in any other sport, or just in normal life. Are shattered dreams reason for suicide? Sure for some mentally handicapped person. For everyone else they are just new experience from which we learn something new, and we get out of there stronger then before. Sure it might sound like fairytale, but it's true in real life too.
I have been in competition sport for 20 years, and even though I never won Olympics, nor compete at Olympics, and I never fulfilled my dreams, I still think those 20 years were best time of my life. Sport taught me a lot for everydays life, and it gives you lot of power and discipline, and sure lot of tears sometimes. But on the end, we all remember good parts, and forget bad ones. So yes, do put your kids in sport.... it might end in tears, but with stronger mentality, or dreams might actually come true for some of those kids.

Hi Guys -
A lot of points to answer.....
Firstly the value of a ski team.....
Britain has a ski team but no mountains.....Nepal has mountains but no ski team.......
the value of a ski team is that it draws investment into the mountains to produce facilities.....Nepal could have the greatest X country training facility in the world,,,if only the authorities stopped using the money to live in grand houses with dozens of servants and guards and Mercs and fat bank accounts.
And a X country facility in say Namche Bazaar would allow local Sherpas to ski every day in season and, like the Ethiopians and Kenyans in running, benefit greatly from their altitude adjustment in future Olympics. In other words give me a X Country track in Nepal and I'll give the Nation a Gold Medal in 2018.
Secondly corruption in Sport......
I could detail a hundred points here but I'll just give you one central fact....Every dollar that passes from the IOC and the International Sport Federations (like FIS) to the National authorities is paid in CASH. There are no accounts required by the Federations for this money and no Government has authority over its use. Source; besides every major journalist in Sport, Kasper, FIS President told me this personally at Val D'Isere. It is not disputed.
Ask yourself the question, why is it paid in cash? .......need I say more?
Thirdly puting your kids into Sport....
Of course the immense personal qualities derived from sport are not questioned - I respect every genuine athlete in every sport for their efforts and spirit - but in the same way that patronising a Mafia casino or night club essentially funds crime and oppression so too does participation in the Olympics effectively fund exploitation and oppresion in developing countries. It's rather like buying eco friendly products - you either help the planet or you don't.
We can all benefit from sport as a recreation - and participate in local competitions for fun and achievement - but the top level is a dirty game and participants should be prepared for massive disillusionment. That's what happened to Uttam.
Finally me.....
I'm not the mega wealthy businessman that some media loves to report....I have made enough to share with a bunch of Nepali skiers, technicians and trainers. We all eat the same, have the same pocket money and share the same fortune and misfortune. There is just about enough to keep us all going. I do not belong to the Val D'Isere jet set. I have been in the mountains for 35 years and I love the air and the forests and the snow. We live in a village with no shops, no fancy bars nor cars no society - we share meals with our French neighbours who are simple mountain people.
And in Nepal you wouldn't catch me anywhere near the Yak and Yeti.....Freak Street is much more my scene!
Namaste to everyone
PS if you want to help find UTTAM, please join the Facebook Group 'HELP US SAVE A MISSING NEPALI BOY SKI RACER AND FRIEND!

|
I appreciate your scepticism - and straightforwards conclusions......but the story isn't quite so simple.
One of my skiers was awarded a $29,000 grant from the IOC because of his performance.......that allowed me to take another skier (Uttam).....it costs about $25,000 a year to train/equip/accommodate a skier.
When the NOC stopped the whole grant (because the skier would not agree to sign false papers and agree to an illegal split of it) I had to support three skiers this season instead of 2....
result; major financial difficulties....(especially with simultaneous economic collapse)....
Meanwhile the NOC was given $6,000 to cover our expenses at Val D'Isere - including the needed equipment - but they bought themselves a new car instead......
Was that really my fault??????

Come on... try telling this to someone who never been in sport. I surely do agree that top sport is money game, and there's no other thing then money... sometimes (or to be honest, most of times) even dirty money.
But let's face it... this didn't happen neither to you, neither to this kid. Level where this kid is, is so low, that none of this play comes to life. There's no corruption, criminal acts or any other described dirty plays on so low level racing. There are parents who force their (or someone else's) kids into things, because they have their own ambitions, which they never fulfilled on their own. There are small things, which definitely hurt kids, but low level racing, and 17 years old Nepali kid is not racing in WC circus (I know, I'm there, just in different position these days), has nothing of what you described.
Sure you can pretend it's IOC responsibility and plot against you and/or this kid, but if you look at this not fooling yourself and everyone else, and be honest, you will see that IOC, FIS and other organizations have "a bit" bigger things to deal with, then 10.000eur pocket money and some 17 year old kid.

I think the main point here is that a young boy has gone missing in a (to him) strange country. Everyone in this forum (I hope I can make this assumption - sorry if I can't) will be hoping that he turns up safe and well.
But your very strange post can't go unanswered, sorry.

Rubbish absolute and total cr*p but if it wasn't (which it is) as you know the mountains of Nepal are geologically new - they move. You can't even build a road up there that will last for more than a few years. How in the hell are you going to build a ski resort.

Richard just stop it. Give it up. I have worked many time in the Khumbu valley (including Namche Bazaar, and they don't have any roads, running water, gas, etc etc etc. Everything in Namche Bazaar is carried up by porter.
Just because not many people in the forum will have even heard of the place does not allow you free reign to use it as an example of your ridicules plans.

It is another point that you "didn't" put your "kid(s)" in sport. You took someone else’s kid, from an extremely poor and under developed nation; one of the poorest in the world, you put him into what some would see as a very strange personal life-style, you tried to make him into an Olympic athlete whilst (at best) not even understanding the rules of the sport you choose or (at worst) showed a blatant disregard for the child’s up bringing and welfare and future prospects by lulling him into a false sense of possible personal achievement that due to your inexperience could only possibly end up in failure.
The fact the no one that matters such as the government ministers, the high courts , the immigration tribunal, etc believes your version of events that led to you having this boy in your control in the first place just make your story less likely with each version I hear.
But ya never know, it may be that the IOC and Rutures are ganging up on you and there really was a chance in a million recognition of you by the boy, from a photograph that neither he nor you (or even the boy's dead father) even mentioned until much later. Who knows, I will ask around in a few months when I'm back to MBC where your story (various permutations’ of it anyway) are still talked about.
Will post back here if I here “anything” to back up your story.

Wayne - I don't know you but you write with a degree of malice that seems unfair and unwarranted.
Uttam really wanted to ski.....he knew the other skiers and wanted to be with them in Europe. Like millions of other impoverished 3rd world people he wanted a chance to do something more than work for a dollar a day in a sweat shop making shoes for us to buy at cheap prices.
And until the sporting authorities just chucked away his future because he was part of a team that would not not accept corruption and illegality, he was perfectly happy. There are hundreds of witnesses to prove this when the time comes.
....and the truth is right here whether you believe it or not.

But you got the boy somehow and now you've lost him so why don't you just stop prating around trying gain sympathy for something you should never have done in the 1st place and your rather stupidly naive plans and go to France and look for the boy.

As one of only three alpine skiers training for Nepal, he was able to participate in the World Championships and The Asian Games without competition subject to very basic qualifications. With 140 FIS pts he could even go the Olympics. Therefore he was very much involved in the system at the top.....

Tell us exactly where the boy did come from - if you know so much! I don't think you know him, his village or his community at all.
And 'my side' of the truth regarding the Jay Khadka story was accepted by a British Court of Law and the Home Secretary personally. Whilst the Daily Mail was censured by the Press Complaints Commission.
As I say, you should familiarize yourself with the truth and stop pedling in inference, suspicions and rumours.
So tell me where 'the boy' came from please.

That is how cash is transported all the time - are you so naive that you cannot imagine a world where cash payments are used to avoid taxation, accountancy or any other inconvenient regulation? The IOC is a federation of NOC's. The NOC's determine collectively the rules of it - including the cash system. The NOC's are not controlled by their governments in these matters. They are independent elected bodies. Their electorate in 3rd world countries consists of those people they invite. Hence the same people are elected into the key positions decade after decade. And they control the rules of the game which, according to Kasper, provides $23 million a year just for skiing and just for 3rd world nations with ski federations (not that many) Can you imagine the total sum available for all sports in all countries.
And can you imagine the convenience of dealing with it in cash?
Perhaps you should get a grip on reality. Did you learn nothing from last October? The World stinks my friend and the sooner we all accept that - the sooner that we can change it.

Where does he come from
I have worked many times around Pokhara and up and down the Modi Khola valley towards MBC and heard so many time about your story that it keeps changing each time I hear it. but hey you MUST remember the valley - you remember the place where you say the policeman asked you to look after his son. You remember, come on you must do. The place where the policeman kept your photograph for years without ever telling anyone about it. You remember the place where after his fathers death the boy only retrieved the photograph (again without telling anyone) and (chance in a million million this but hey - could happen) he happened to find you from an old photograph.
Come on, you must remember the photo, coz no one else in the valley does. But hey, could have happened like that.
To tell you the truth mate I’m bored with this now – was years ago.
So good luck I honestly do hope he turns up well and that after that you will at least sit down and wonder what’s best for him and not you. Nepalese ski team, whatever next, grow up and see the world like it is not how you want to be.
See ya in Freak Street if you’re around as you say you are.
End of my answers and as you have to get out now and search for the boy it should be yours too. We’ll see.

You are obviously an expert on my life, my son's life, Uttam's life and my knowledge on the Sport and even the very words I have spoken to all the members of the team....phew, you must have done some amazing work to get such an insight......perhaps you might tell us all of the fate of the other skiers, or how many there have been, or where they came from or how we live or where we live or who our partners are or the details of our personal backgrounds.....

But the son didn't come from the same village where I met the policeman.....the policeman didn't actually come from there either. Basu Khadka was only working there - like many policemen do - they work in outside locations far from their homes. Come on Nepal expert - you should know that.

You should read your Daily Mail articles more carefully - even they got this one right. Basu Khadka gave his son the photo I gave him long before he died. The son never actually visited the village where his father worked and lived at that time. Why should he? He lived miles away with his mother. She was one of three wives that Basu Khadka had. It was very common then to have 3 wives - it was part of the culture for centuries. But of course you must know that already.

We agree at last - but why did you raise the issue?. Was it just to throw rocks because you swallowed an angle used years ago to sell newspapers to the gullible -and you thought that Uttam was therefore brought over for some nasty reason.
As I say, the film Doubt was made especially to deal with the very syndrome you display. It's really great and I confidently prescribe it for you.
Then perhaps we might meet in Freak Street one day and really understand all.

And if you think the best way to search for a missing teenager is to pace the 'streets' looking for him rather than alerting the authorities, the media and the public to his disappearance I would certainly have grave fears about sending anyone to your ski school....your thinking just isn't logical.
btw....just because you have heard a thousand different versions on the trails of my adventures there nearly 25 years ago doesn't even suggest (let alone indicate) that I have changed my story at all.....think about it....if you can.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

I hope the lad is found safe and well. This spat seems deeply inappropriate in the circumstances.

This is the biggest problem with the media - Like the Daily Mail they often get things completely wrong
There are reports of Uttam in Berlin just now - but we can't be certain

Hurtle, I agree 100%. I don't understand all this bickering. TBH I don't care how it came about. Let's just hope the lad is found safe and well.

I know - it's wonderful news that he is still alive - we are all overjoyed here in Les Arcs - but he has still not been found and we have no idea of his state of mind....the reports come from his internet use...things are moving by the minute
will keep you all informed.
sorry about the bickering - I quite agree - I'm afraid Wayne rather upset me with all that stuff about 25 years ago.
