I dare say that person might feel aggrieved but I don't think there's any real justification. As Zero points out this stuff happens from time to time. We've has a high profile tennis player withdraw from the major tournaments and a England cricket player do the same.
Rather than carping and implying some sort of weakness and deliberate conduct on the part of those pulling out we should be taking a hard look at the system that puts them in that position.
