WTC organises races, governing bodies sanction races.

Sanctioned event or not cheaters suck, post the pics here.

Yeah man post the pics here,it has been at least a week since we had a good crucifixion on ST!





--------

Did they actually bandit all 3 disciplines? Or did you just catch some guy biking the course or just pacing his buddy on the run?

Post the pics and let the mob justice sort this out. Let me get my pitchfork

I never thought pacing on the run was such a big deal, but man what is the deal with all the snorkelers this season?! every triathlon i've done this season i've seen at least one or 2 snorkelers per race. I've even seen a noodle. ever since that NYC incident it's like there has been an explosion of 'noodlers'

Your subject doesn't really match your post.

But to answer your question based on the constraints you gave, hypothetically, I could create scenarios where I would or I wouldn't.

Post the pics or delete the thread

Kept the picture big so any pertinent details could be seen.

Race was Providence 70.3 yesterday. Body marking on the woman is #963-it's a little difficult to see...

How do you know she was a bandit? She has a green wristband on?

& a timing chip??

I have a similar picture of my wife running alongside me briefly at a race. I hope no one gets a hold of it and turns me in.

Those are some amazing jugs in that picture, however.

Looks like she has a race number belt on, just turned around backwards...

#96 belongs to a F25-29 participant who ran 3 min/mile slower than #963. So I'm not sure what's going on here.

There is a link to her results.

Check her number on the bib list....and then check his...

Is he wearing a timing chip? Green wristband?

Also, no name on the bib and the number is off center-look carefully, the last number that I assume is a "3" is whited out.

Interesting!

I get what your saying now, sorry I was misunderstood.

Not real sure what is going on here. Worth turning in? No.

That really IS interesting! It definitely looks like he used white-out or something to erase the 3 in her number.

I was there yesterday to support my wife during the race...take some pictures and give her encouragement.

I had a long run on my schedule for yesterday and it would have been much easier to run it on the course with aid station support, but I didn't because it's just not right. Running the course with someone may not be cheating, but by altering her bib(which I think is what happened), that shows intent and THAT, at least in my book, IS cheating.

Why are both of her knees bloody?

I say shoot them both!

I have seen some things at races, but this one sure has my interest up. I do not see her bid number on her, which I believe for the rules has to be worn during the run.

It sure looks like by him having what looks to be her bib, and a number taken out, and what I assume is an empty timing strap, is much more than someone just happened to be running next to her.
Am looking forward to more of the details on this, and if it is what it looks like, will WTC do anything.

Cheating is cheating, but maybe the picture somehow does not tell the true story?

Lions don't lose sleep worrying about the sheep

I agree with you. I did that race yesterday, and on the run, the aid stations definitely appeared to be feeling the squeeze of people needing a lot of stuff in the heat, etc. They kept running out of sponges and ice despite their best efforts to keep both fully stocked. So what really bothers me is that this guy was basically on course taking resources from athletes who actually needed them and that he obviously planned this in advance. Dick move, dude. Dick move.
