There was a fraud! Some people thought they could belong by pretending that 5’8’’ was 1m72 (the upper limit for Team Shorttwitch male category).
It was brought up to my attention that
1m72 is 5’7’'71
therefore, all the males taller than 5’7’'71 are excluded.
1m60 is 5’2’‘99 so females must be at or under 5’3’’
I am going to get my attorney Monk working on this one. Clearly this is pedjudice against 5’8" triathletes like myself.
yeah! screw EO/AA! 
I present evidence that you ok’d 5’8"!

Team Shorttwitch Captain
At 5’8", I’m working on shrinking myself that extra 3/10" so I can make the team! Maybe I’ll stop ingesting calcium so my skeletal system breaks down a bit. That should work!

Is slumping while being measured cheating? Like checking on government forms that you are hispanic because you eat at Taco Bell.
I can see it now, as this membership becomes popular and elitist, someone will develop a technique to suck growth hormone out of children to keep them eligible. Sort of a reverse epo thing. Better start developing a test to look for this or your organization will soon be accused of being filled with cheaters. I have always thought it not possible to actually be that short without chemical manipulation.

Nah, just get a haircut, that would likely work as well
