Drafting: Is it Ruining Triathlon?
Many pros feel that drafting is ruining the sport of triathlon. It’s removing the purity of a true racing spectacle. Some suggest that the only way to get around it is to avoid a lap course. Others say that there should be a bigger gap between age groupers and elites, men and women. What do you think? Please post your comments below.

I dont rate, triathlons are already weigted heavily in favour of the cyclist. To remove drafting will push it over the edge and you may as well cut out the other 2 events. At least with dafting it allows the guy WITHOUT the carbon fibre frame/carbon fibre back disc to at least have a chance (if he gets a good swim and run).
Look at the ITU how the chase group works as a team to catch the leaders, therefore turning the final run leg into a much more competitive spectacle as there is more guys gunning for first place.
I say legalise drafting at ALL events!!
