My personal vote for his punishment: 2 year ban (same as doping) from IMs and "community service" of volunteering both years at an Energy Lab aid station helping those who had the courage to do what he did not.
Nina Kraft got back to Kona after 2 year ban, she stole all the glory from Natascha a thing she will never be able to get back. How can we compare the Racer X with Nina.
If the new rule you get DQ = 2 year ban... I just could dream that when you get DQ for drafting in a race you get the same punishment... After all aren't these people saving energy and time that will result in faster bike and run split, almost same effect cutting the course.
In my book if there isn't a specific written rule saying that you get ban for 2 years by cutting the course then DQ is the only sanction he should get. WTC can create a new rule if it doesn't exist today but can't apply to previous cases that happen before it. Same thing in Justice...
