The title of this thread really distinguishes it from all the other

threads
in this newsgroup.

sorry -forgot some people not able to access this UK newsgroup.
Basically Steve Jones (2x world champ) posted under the title: Sebastian
Kawa caught cheating

As Kawa and other Polish pilots were caught cheating at a recent
Grand Prix in Spain, should they get a lifetime ban?


No they should not get a lifetime ban! But I could see a DNF for unauthorized radio use as it is blatant cheating, disrespectful to the other competitors, the organization, his sponsors and his reputation. Kawa is the best racing pilot the world has seen, not sure why he would put winning above his exhausted reputation. He has nothing to prove.
