So, is this another "Everyone that does Clearwater is a cheating drafter, except for me" admonishment?
Everyone seems to be complaining about the drafting, yet no one admits to doing it. No one.

Drafting occurs in every race. All of them. You can see it in every race from Hawaii to Clearwater. Some more, some less. Get over it. You can't just sit back and blame the venue. Florida, Texas, Arizona, the subtropics, and now the middle east are great race destinations. There has always been high profile races in most of these regions and there always will be. ALWAYS will be.

If you watch ANY sporting event, there are rule infractions that occur without being seen by officials. If the ref doesn't throw the flag, there effectively is no infraction. As a pro, its up to you to learn how to compete in that environment. Its up to you to balance the potential of penalty versus time savings of riding in a draft or near draft. If rule enforcement was effective by using the honor system, we would not need race officials. But, all sports have officials. What happens outside of what the official sees is not an infraction. That's something that is hard for people to accept. Its true in football, soccer, tennis, etc. Stop trying to find blame somewhere else. Adapt, adjust. But stop blaming venues that will surely be around for decades to come.
