Nobody else was near the control). In the end he had no registry in the SI and was disqualified. As team manager, I asked for a base check and there was no registry. The curious thing was that the registry immediately after the athlete B, belonged to a competitor (C) that wasn’t yet in the area (analysing his splits, he could never be there at that time). I figured that the athlete’s registry was incomplete and next competitor passing in the control “took the time” of the athlete A’s SI!!! It was a minor competition and nobody cared about, but is a good example of the loss o liability of the system, specially with older equipments… Three years ago, in a Portuguese Military Championship, an athlete (A) punched the SI (he punched immediately after another runner (B) who confirms the fact.
