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!! I dont rate, triathlons are already weigted heavily in favour of the cyclist.
