I agree, it’s an odd mentality and you have to think to what point would a person like that ignore bad shit strangers do. Walk past a fight, let dicks park in disabled spots, do nothing to stop a shoplifter... you don’t have to be Dirty Harry, but standing by with your thumb up your arse while people cheat, steal and do bad shit is shit.
It's not an odd mentality.
It's REALITY.
Seriously, what does all your complaining, worrying, anger and frustration about such a triathlon cheater get you? So you report the guy. 9/10 NOTHING happens because it's your word vs his/hers unless there is camera evidence or really egregious cheating going on. Even if there IS corroborated cheating, if the time saved isn't that big, 9/10 the RD doesn't do squat about it.

I wouldn't get angry or get my knickers in a twist I would simply confront him and/or report him. A guy in my age group, Mark Robson, Australia's answer to Julie Miller cheated and got away with it for years. Winning races, going to the 70.3 and ITU world champs after continually cutting the course, depriving the genuine winners of their spot on the podium and their chance at going to the world champs. I had no idea who this spanner was until he got banned. And it transpired that loads of people knew what was going on and either chose to ignore it or pretend it wasn't happening. He's a gumby swimmer, would be lucky to go under 35mins for a 70.3 then he goes 22min for a 70.3, won an award for fastest AG swim (he "beat" most of the pros) and most of his club mates slapped him on the back for his performance.
The very reason he was allowed to carry on cheating was because of the people's apathy. You don't have to get angry and lose sleep over it, but do something about it.
Are you telling me, in this situation, you would do nothing about his blatant cheating and allow him to carry on doing this for years?
You were quite right in calling him out when he did Ultraman Florida and it was interesting that they let him race after they had been specifically informed about his past.Ultraman is an invitation only event so they could have decided not to consider him as they did in Australia and Canada.I was the one who contacted the Ultra-tri community about him and in the end he got all the bad press that he deserved.A Bing search of "Mark Robson Cheater" reveals a long list of media articles about his exploits...………...
…….. and the fucker is a cheating Pommie bastard,just to set the record straight. :-)
