However, what bothers me is that IMG extends the decision to ban her from the event, not taking into account the DTU's decision etc.
What happens if someone really is innocent?
It just sends the wrong message, which is that IMG takes unilateral decision and ignore the decision of the DTU, a federal organization they depend on...
IMG is a privately-run event, and is not sanctioned by organized triathlon (ITU and the national federations). So, they can do whatever they want.
The way I read their statement, they are not banning her because of the testosterone -- they're banning her because she is accusing the volunteers and the race organizers of tampering with her needs bag! I'd throw her out of my races too.
They're saying, "Hey -- if you think we're such scumbags and crooks, then stay the hell out of our races." Sounds entirely reasonable to me.
