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.
