Drafting is a penalty, yes. But I liken it more to hockey: falling over a stick does not a tripping penalty make. It is your responsibility to make every effort to avoid drafting, to not be caught in a drafting situation. I never said that we shouldn't have more marshals, nor that drafting shouldn't be a penalty, just that there needs to be room for interpretation - which, IMO, is what does happen, WHEN marshals spot drafting. Not everyone caught in a pack is happy about being there, or trying to draft, regardless of whether or not they get some advantage from it...
Your understanding of the rules of hockey is incorrect.
If my stick trips someone, intentional or not, it's a tripping call. Period. You are responsible for your own actions.
Same goes for drafting. Period.
What races do you marshall, I don't want to race there. You obviously don't give racers a level playing field.
