I quoted the rule, which Article B of the interference rule. Archived Message

He entered another lane while the heat was going on. Previous Message Previous Message You say it's a misapplication of the rule. If it's as clear as you say, the coaches can file a protest, and if it's as clearly wrong as you say, then the decision will get overturned. If that happens, great for him! If not, maybe there's more at play than just a ref making a decision. Maybe that's how the rule is supposed to be applied. Again, I'm not a swim ref, so I don't know what they have been told about how to interpret this. It could be extreme overreach, it could be an easy call. Previous Message Had he done the same thing once every swimmer had finished, it would not break the “during the heat” rule. Therefore, it must have interfered or negatively affected someone still swimming. Since it wasn’t the lane he entered, please demonstrate how it interfered with another active swimmer. If you can’t, then it’s a misapplication of the rule.
