Comment on “Spin manipulation of 1.94  GeV/c polarized protons stored in the COSY cooler synchrotron”

We show that the formula of the strength of the spin resonance driven by a rf dipole in the commented paper is incorrect. A derivation of the resonance strength due to direct spin rotation from a rf dipole is shown. The result of a numerical simulation to verify our derivation is also presented.
