But opinion when discussing someone else can be very different to reality when talking about yourself.Originally Posted by jodg
I guess we don't need a poll on this one to see what the majority opinion is!
Perhaps such a poll should be "have you ever entered a race and taken less than the specified kit?"
I know I have, but only in a short race where the kit requirements seemed excessive, the majority of the other competitors also had no kit, and the organiser clearly wasn't enforcing it.
On the whole, I agree that people not carrying kit should be disqualified (and that a few high-profile disqualifications would help the cause). Also, ROs should be more proactive about checking people.
It's one thing cheating when you're the only one, it's another cheating when 90% of the field is also doing it (a bit like driving at 70 mph on a motorway).
