I don't agree if it displaces someone else. Although, obviously, in some cases

Clearly he was rabbiting - if it looks like a duck and smells like a duck,
it is. His claims that he was not rabbiting are ridiculous.
Proving it in a legally defensible manner is another story. Assuming it
could be proven, the USATF Board could certainly suspend him based on any

Here are some pertinent rule references from a 1999 edition
of the USATF rulebook (there may be a few changes since then,
but probably nothing significant in this area):
