Saw that Diana Riesler was dq'd for wearing a swim skin (zone 3) over her SLEEVELESS tri suit. Apparently, AGers were also dq'd. Anyone know details?

Edit: looks like it was a French federation rule not IM and was selectively enforced. Perhaps this is something that should of been in the athlete guide?

3. In case it is forbidden to swim in a wet-suit, the athletes may only wear a swim suit with FINA certification. Wearing more than one swim suit is forbidden.

It was also mentioned at the race briefing. You had to roll down your tri suit when wearing a swim suit

And rules are always selectively enforced as the number of race officials are much lower than the number of participants.

I saw drafting, litter being discarded outside "Eco zones", and run course cutting (albeit only by ~10m) - neither of these punished, but I think that's expected.
