No data to back this statement up. Just a few thinking the glass is half empty. I feel so much safer where in a race. 99% of my USAT races
have no marshalls at them, so not an issue.


So you think that, on a whim, for no reason, WTC just decided to add that rule?


Would not be the first time.

Just like when USAT said 10mm wetsuits could not be used. Just a few board members that had issues, not the membership.

You should read the Kevin Moats thread (if it still exists) dealing with his punishment regarding the lack of a TUE. It quickly hit on the fact that he used the mirror to check for marshals.

Like everything in life, some cheat. Yep, clearly a mirror can be used to cheat with drafting, but since 99% do not use, this has not stopped drafting has it?

Sometimes you don't need data. Being reasonable and rational is enough. Helmet mirrors make it so it's easy to see if someone is coming behind you in case you're doing something you shouldn't be in a race.

Well his mirror didn't seem to help Dave avoid the draft marshals at the Auburn Tri;)

Someone who needs to raise money from the public to fund her trip to an age group triathlon race, that she allegedly cheats at, now has money to retain a lawyer to threaten and/or sue the website hosting a forum discussing her proven and/or alleged cheating.

What is wrong with helmet mirrors? I race with it all the time. They are not illegal.


Are you sure about that?

I just looked at IMCHOO's athlete guide and....

" Helmet mirrors or mirrors attached to the bike or body are prohibited unless needed for a verifiable medical reason. Athletes granted permission to use a mirror will be ineligible for awards or World Championship entry slots. Athletes using a mirror without permission will be disqualified."

Those with a hearing impairment should be permitted to use a mirror.

Not likely IMO.... Tough to take a percentage on Zero. Pro bono perhaps, but contingency is highly unlikely. But stranger things have happened (e.g. this thread and the previous two ;) )

Is contingency legal in Canada ?

Dan,

I feel that you have been very fair and balanced in both your comments and governing a frustrated crowd. I ask a simple question and am interested in your thoughts. If Ms. Miller was disqualified from a qualifying event then aren't her results in China automatically null. i.e. If I were the NY Yankees and made it to the World Series and Won.....Then it was determined I was disqualified from the event which put me into the world series....It would seem I couldn't win the world series if I was disqualified in the round before I got there. Before or after the result. Thoughts? Mostly trying to understand how all these different organizations rule in these circumstances. I defer to your extensive knowledge over my limited knowledge.
