Are you sure it was the Wie Camp? Maybe the Casio people realized a Wie appearance fee is not a wise investment--perhaps they made the call telling her to stay in school.

Ever sense the "tripping accident" in Palo Alto, California, rumors have persisted. I guess only MW can explain why she was running backwards in a strange environment early in the morning. To quote Forest Gump..."stupid is as stupid does." I believe the main reason that her wrist injury still has not healed is the fact that she did not take the injury serious and certainly did not do the rehab that was necessary. You really wonder what the "Wie Camp" is doing to help MW career. I think 2008 will be a comedy of errors for Michelle...unfortunately!
