doping allowed for 25 euro more entrance fee

peter kern

I have seen a memorandum that some triathlon organisations are considering to allow doping ( testosterone and bikes over 4000 euro etc not EPO ) at an extra 25 euro extra charge per race .
The goal is to lower the entrance fees for those earning less than the 80 000 euro average income of an Irish triathlete and allow those that dont have time to train to buy speed.

What do you think, is that a good idea or to complicated to implement.

Oh Peter, you are very late in the day with this one...

late in the day for what ?

Given that it took you until after 12 noon, I thought it might be a little better

Drafting penalties - entrants to be given choice of a time penalty or a fine?

(and the fines pay for more draft marshalls - its a win-win!)

In fairness, it's well executed. Hits several nails pretty accurately

Saw another memo that said there would be an Open Water Permitted Category added to the TI membership cards and that PB3 swim sessions would be mandatory to get it.

- saw that memo too and have a question for you. ..


I see the ruling is to increase male athletes due to the testosterone benefit.

My question is do you think this could lead to pb3 finally having a male athlete in the 2014 triathlon ireland rankings at last???

Question 2 - is it true you operate the worlds second largest female populated training group? (D-Squad prob trumps you but it's close....)
