Maybe call him "Cosmic Carbone" (given his name) as he seems to be able to warp space and time?!

HAHA nails.

such a great thread. This thread has cut my productivity today in half!

Ooh yes! I bow to your genius.

to all, regarding this thread:

these incidents occur several times a year or, at least, they're exposed several times a year, and that tends more often than not to happen here on this forum.

in that way, a public service is provided, and those of you on this forum, through your sleuthing, are sort of triathlon's "usada" of course cutting. and, you do it with humor (my favorite was the outboard motor strapped onto the back - via photoshop - of one infamous triathlete of some repute).

at the same time, these threads, after having served their purpose, tend to decay into something that's not helpful. it's good that we can expose behavior that needs to see the light of day. however, i don't want this forum to be a vehicle for public humiliation. i've pulled a couple of posts in this thread that were, in my opinion, guilty of that.

i'm going to let you guys get in your last licks, but, please, be sensitive to the concern i express above. then i'm going to lock the thread down. i'll keep it on the site, but, it'll be locked, which means no more posting to it.

please do not start another thread to take up where this thread leaves off.

Dan, I do think there are some great questions that have been brought up that I would love to see some ideas from the timing guy as to improvements. The main one is they have all these timing mats, but a number of us have heard the stories of top races "missing" them, and getting into races like Kona, etc. So, would be great to take things like this out of this example, and try to brainstorm how to help improve our sport to weed out these few bad apples that even make these type of threads happen.

Someone PLEASE make a gif of that volunteer running a 100 and being ahead of Usain Bolt. :D

But Dad! He cheated! Sniffle.

i think that's certainly worthy of a separate thread.
