We appreciate the difficulty a RO may have and we know of cases where the junior lied about his age on the entry form, or persuaded the RO to let him run and we have contacted ROs in the past warning them of the need to be vigilant. A sanction against a RO could include the FRA refusing the race insurance and excluding all his/her events from future Calendars.
