This thread is in response to Jim Thorton's thread about his AA time being disallowed.I think that if a swimmer swims in a USMS sanctioned meet and that the time gets to the "official" Top Ten list that it should count.Otherwise one could go back and check the length of ,say the Amarillo pool from the first Masters Nationals and if it was 1 cm short disallow the swims.There must be a statute of limitations and I think it should be when the official TT times are posted.
Wow, some people must take this pretty seriously. Some time back I heard a story about a guy I swam with in college getting caught in a motor vehicle assisted run during a triathlon. I guess I just don’t understand what you would get out of doing that.
Motor vehicle assisted run? Or vehicle drafting on the bike leg, which can be either deliberate or genuinely accidental (eg in ITU races draft zone around vehicles is 35m x 5m; if a technical official sees you riding at 34.5m you get a penalty). A couple of people in my club have been DQ for non-deliberate drafting that they weren't even aware of doing at the time (they were DQ for drafting off other racers, but I'm sure others have been done for vehicle drafting in the same sort of way)
