ASPEN, Colo. -- Those infamous White House party crashers, Michaele and Tareq Salahi, won't be welcome back to the World Snow Polo Championship in Aspen either.

The couple is accused of stiffing the tournament host for $19,500 in entry fees, according to the Aspen Times.

New Castle rancher Barry Stout alleged that the couple put down a $3,000 deposit toward the $22,500 entry fee for the polo tournament held last December, but never paid off the balance.

“They kind of put me in the starve mode,” said Stout, who runs the Roaring Fork Polo Club, which played host to the event, according to the Aspen Times. The event returns to Aspen's Wagner Park Dec. 17-20.

The Secret Service is changing its White House screening policies after the press-hungry couple crashed President Barack Obama's White House state dinner for Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh last week.

While the couple has insisted they were invited, the Secret Service said they were not on the guest list for the state dinner and an error was made.

In an email sent to Pentagon official Michele Jones hours after the state dinner, the Salahis claimed they did not hear Jones' voicemail earlier that day — which said they didn't make the guest list — because of a dead cell phone, the Associated Press reported Wednesday.

Back in Aspen, Stout said he allowed the Salahis' Team Land Rover to participate in the event because he needed a fourth team. Tareq Salahi was a member of Team Land Rover, while his wife helped organize the team, Stout told the Aspen Times.

The couple apparently made the most of their Aspen visit, receiving a complimentary stay at The St. Regis Resort Aspen. They were photographed rubbing elbows with the likes of former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, and posing for party pictures all over town, the Aspen Times reported.

Stout said he has given up on collecting the debt.

“I realize that just from the way they were doing business that it would be a waste of time to sue them,” he told the Aspen Times. “I'm sure we could get a judgment, but then we'd have to try and collect the money.”

The Salahis' Oasis Winery in Virginia filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in February, CNN reported. Creditors listed include the IRS, Fauquier County, the state of Virginia, several banks and American Express Corp., among others. The company claims about $335,000 in assets and $965,000 in liabilities.

Stout said he was not surprised when the Salahi couple's White House appearance made headlines last week.

“They are publicity seekers, and it doesn't surprise me a bit,” Stout told the Times. “I hope they prosecute them.”
