Pro Triathletes about to get boring on Twitter

Aparently WTC are not happy with outspoken triatheletes (I'm guessing TheRealStarky et al) as in a communicae released this is the main topic of discussion:

5) Setting a Professional Standard: If we are going to convince sponsors, host cities, the media and age group athletes that our races and our professional athletes are worthy of greater support and attention, we collectively need to improve communication. As such, we are implementing a revised code of conduct for professional athletes that particularly relates to social media. Our revised social media policy is designed to increase the professionalism of our public discourse on matters relating to our sport. We are prepared to engage in a vibrant dialog about professional racing with you and your fellow professional athletes, but the dialog cannot take place publicly.

I'm all for professional image on social media but this smacks of "if we don't like what you say, you woun't be invited to race".


Am I reading this wrong?
