John,
The way it looks at this point the judges made the right decision...although it's a bit suspect, and they managed it poorly.
As for the sailors... I can only speak for myself in saying that I would never want any accomplishment of mine tainted especially when I have complete control over it. Aren't we doing this for the respect of our peers anyway? It's not like there is $$$ involved
This is probably best moved to another thread.
