Some forms of triathlon do not allow drafting yet this rule is most disrespected rule in races.

The gains of drafting are enormous – up to 5% benefit in longer races which is sometimes a difference between winner and amateur competitor – yet in most respected race world wide it is possible that up to 10% of competitors draft.

Imagine a marathon race in which 10% of competitors cut the race course by few kilometers – drafting problem is equal to this.

This has created an unprecendented crisis in sport of non-drafting triathlons as a large number of triathletes who do qualify for further competitions or gain recognition have cheated.

I have noticed something was very strange when most triathletes did not take this seriously or race organizers treated such extreme behavior as unsolvable problem.

My idea was to create a web based project which would publicize the idea that drafting is wrong and therefore pressure competitors and race organizers into paying more attention to the problem of drafting.

Hopefully this project – Say NO To Drafting – will at least a bit change the attitude towards more respect of the rules of the sport we all love.
