But when you start breaking these rules into the context then you have the same situation you have here with "discretion". Where everyone interprets the rules how they see fit. The entire point of the rule is that it is up to referee interpretation, which is the entire problem, so... There is literally no rule against crossing lanes of a swimmer who has finished. The rule, in writing, is ONLY: ARTICLE 1. a. Any competitor who interferes with another swimmer during a race shall be disqualified from that race, subject to the discretion of the referee. He, objectively, did not interfere with another swimmer. The entire controversy is that the referee decided to apply the rule per their discretion, and nobody can understand why. --- Seplito Nash, Smelling Like the Vault since 1996 Step FOUR! Get Paid! ...
