we've had ironman, tinman, silverman, musselman, and now finman ;-)
let's talk about the finman. the thread on finman that's been going for the past three quarters of a day has gotten more and more uncomfortable, at least for me. accordingly, i've parked that thread away from public view. yes, we've got photographic evidence. still, i think the best arbiters of who cheated and how and what the outcome ought to be is north american sports or it's usa triathlon. they'll do the investigation and if and when a judgment is rendered -- or if no punitive action is taken -- whatever you want to say about this is fine with me (subject to what i'll write below).
if you want to repost the pic of a guy with fins, facing away from the camera, that's fine. post it here on this thread. but, no names, no bib numbers, nothing that identifies the person. let's wait until USAT or NAS has something to say about the person, at which point you may commence your commentary here with the person being "outed" by an organization tasked with the job of a proper investigation.
please, do not post a pic of that fellow facing the camera, and please do not post anything that identifies him -- not until he's formally banned or sanctioned. and, if nobody is in fact banned or sanctioned and you want to write about the injustice of that, fine, but i'd not like the man identified unless and until he's deemed to have broken rules according to NAS, WTC or USAT. thanks in advance for your understanding.
