Can a man wear a sports bra?
In the new WTC rules, any man unzipping his tri suit below his sternum can get DQ'd, yet women can run in sports bras. If a man wore a sports bra, would he be DQ'd? And who is willing to test this out?

Someone please tell me if I am missing something here? Why would any race director want to subject its racers to conditions that are harsher than necessary? This sounds like a health risk.
When I lived in Malaysia, I would always run in a singlet so I didn't disrespect the culture. Even in 90 deg heat and 90% humidity. Similar idea with WTC, though it is a bit of a double standard with men vs women. In local races I go in just a speedo. For the one WTC ace I've done recently, I added a mankini top.
Now we will see if WTC really wants to disqualify Sebastian for wearing his zip top. (unless the bottom of his sternum actually resides at his navel - it's possible I guess - certainly you'd have a medical exemption for 'low sternum'). This was displayed beautifully on the IM site's amazing video coverage. These rules are such a laugh, and the enforcement is a laugh. Why are they even going through this nonsense.

I think the rule is stupid. But WTC can't enforce on anyone the rest of the year since they let Kienle cross the line like that. Definitely not fixed "promptly" per the WTC rules to avoid DQ.

I'm not saying DQ anyone, just adding to the "the rule is stupid" idea. I have one WTC race this year and hope I don't get one of the picky officials.

Unavoidable.
P.S. To the head of team kit design: Can the 2018 TRS/Baucco Squad kits have nipples integrated into the design scheme? Male and Female equal of course.
