I feel you are a bit off in your interpretation of this situation and the rule. The likely outcome is praise and applause. A DQ from Ironman would create a lot of backlash for them.I understand the situation. It's an awesome situation, but the fact is.....the athlete broke a USAT rule. And I don't necessarily agree that it should be a rule violation. But, I think it is a slippery slope if you start to ignore rules because of a "feel good" story.
Anyway, I'm only bringing this up to generate discussion. And this is not the first time this exact rule has brought about lots of discussion. I feel that many people would agree that the rule needs (at least) a little tweaking.
ETA: Also, I'm just trying to boost my post count (I think I may change my signature to reflect this).
Pink? Maybe. Maybe not. You decide.
