This happened with a female pro in a penalty tent at an IM race in the past. IIRC, the head referee was pretty pissed off (ha) about it and read her the riot act. (Which may be where the no peeing rule came from).

Yes. I was in Nooga as well and there were porta-potties right there. In more than one place very close by.

Yes, it's always an odd feeling standing there talking to someone secretly pissing down your leg.

Peeing on yourself on the run is pretty common. What's wrong with that?

Just be careful of hot races. Wouldn't want a "trucker bomb" situation in transition.

IMCHOO TT line was very wet. All They had to do was take 2 steps to the right and they could have pee'd on the grass. But they stood right on the pathway and pee'd. I saw this in IMLOU so I stopped at Dollar General and got a $1 pair of flip flops.

Yes. I had the decency at NOLA and milwaukee to at least pee on the grass

No. The head ref was pissed on! *rim shot*

not cool, but the port a jon lines at the aid stations were incredible, they should have had double the number available. seriously a line of 5 to 8 riders at each stop

I checked the results, I had my fingers crossed that there was a Bellamy in the race.

Bellamy wasn't in the race.

A. This Thread

and

B. The perpetrators; both need nicknames.

Doubt they were very busy for the 4th finisher overall at T2 though.

uhhh, good point

Who hasn't pissed in a changing tent? *Looks around*

So is urine sterile or not sterile?

I see you take urine very seriously.

If you are american when outside the porta potty , what are you when inside the porta potty?..........................................................

Pink? Maybe. Maybe not. You decide.

PissMan

This is up there with the most entertaining thread in years

No. Gate is hauled out and attached by simpleton journalists to things every time they want to try and imply it's a bigger thing than it is. It jumped the shark about two days after Watergate was over and anyone using it from here on out should be dragged over sandpaper and salt. Twice.

Just for the record ...

When I went into the changing tent at Metaman at Bintan in Indonesia (half and full races, huge prize purses, always a good pro lineup) ...

It was T2 and someone had just smoked an entire cigarette in the tent. The butt was on the floor, the tent was full of smoke, and I honestly would much rather get peed on than have to breathe that shit while changing. I went outside once I had the particulars covered over to finish changing (despite that being against the rules).

I know this is SE Asia, but come on, people!

It was raining outside. However, I did used to be a smoker, and believe me a true addict can get one lit and smoked in a hurricane if need be. So WTF?!

Smoking in a tent wrong. So what is your point? Comparing gauche behavior? Urinating in a changing tent is unacceptable regardless. Especially when there were bathrooms right there. This guy was wrong. He created a safety hazard for other competitors and was inconsiderate beyond belief.

The guy should have at the least received a penalty and at best DQ'd. If athletes can't act like human beings, if their race in their mind supersedes all else, or if his brain was "too red-lined" as someone suggested then I suggest that he might want to find a new profession.
This guy is supposedly doing his job. Would it be acceptable for a professional basketball player to urinate while sitting on the bench?
