Good for you for owning up. I’ll go a step further, I don’t like the counter protest at all. This was course cutting, who possibly is trying to justify that?
I’ll say this, Gwen can really run. What would we be saying if Gwen nipped KZ at the line in a fair race? What if KZ held her off (likely) and won despite the bad T2?
Course cutting is intentional. This? Not remotely.
Yeah, I take umbrage with the “cutting the course” thing. I know it’s semantics but when he says “this was course cutting” it reads a bit accusatory.
Anyways, I think the call from the judges was the right one.
We’re not on the same page.
I accept that it was an accident. But the counter-protest was not. They had all the evidence we have. They knew they received an unfair advantage. They pressed their case for two hours and then filed a counter protested.
It became cheating the moment someone tried to let an unfair result stand.
This was the standard all of you used when you criticized the initial filing of the protest. Have you forgotten that you did that? You deemed
the result fair and thus Gwen should be ashamed for questioning it. (FYI the initial protest was filed by 3 parties). I’m merely applying your standard in reverse. Once the unfair advantage became evident, the results and Dqs should have been certified. It was not. That’s not okay.
Did I say anything about the counter-protest? I agree that most likely it wasn’t necessary. But calling it “cheating”?
Can you please point to any comment made by me saying that Gwen was cheating for protesting the result?
For the information we had at the time it made her look bad, that’s all I said. For the information we have now I think it was the right move.
Also, we were told that making protests is totally fair and normal, but now YOU are accusing KZ of cheating for doing it. It looks like you are the one doing that of which you are accusing me of doing.
