There has been a bit of speculation around that the RYA and/or ISAF Rule 69 inquiries into Ben Ainsle's conduct in Australia may yield a fine for Mr. Ainsle rather than (or perhaps in addition to) a suspension. While quite common in other professional sports, I've never heard of a fine being issued under MNA/ISAF Rule 69 jurisdiction -- has anyone else?
Where did you hear this?
ReplyDeleteSpeculation about a possible fine is in the UK Daily Mail. It must be true!

ReplyDeleteNo further penalty. See http://www.sailing.org/news/37842.php
ReplyDeleteIs there even a possibility of a fine without competitors agreeing to modified rules that make a fine a possible penalty? Fines seem unlikely in a predominantly amateur sport.
