That would be "rat finking".

I think it might work better if a rider who sees some blatant abuse drops

back and lets the official know the # of the riders doing the offense.

Since it seems that there are still kids out there who refuse to play by the

rules and since the officials cannot catch all, would there be any validity

to have a few "moles" amongst the categories to ensure safety.



No one would know who they are and the "moles" would report violations at

the close of the race in a discreet manner. I know this gets into a wierd

area of Big Brother and such but in the name of safety and clean racing,

would it be worth it?



If all of a sudden, 10 riders are DQ'd at the end of race and no official

made the call, racers might start to behave a little better.



Of course, there are a lot of questions with this.....how does a mole or a

couple of moles keep track of guilty parties and still enjoy the race? How

do you know if a mole is telling the truth? If Kent were a mole, would he

report Lance in violation each race and vice versa?



Just a simple idea from a simple person who enjoys keeping the rubber side

down.
