Not really, but it is difficult when extremely well-known sprinters
state publicly that trying to anticipate the gun is part of the game. I am
not alone in believing this to be against the rules. Rather than call it
cheating, I would rather say that people who do this probably think they
are not in violation of the rules, but I say they are wrong. If you want
to call that cheating, OK.
