Default News flash: pilots are "allowed" to use supplemental oxygen

WADA is the world organization against doping in sport. In most
countries, anti-doping laws are in effect and implement the rules laid
out by WADA. That means that as gliding is generally considered a
sport, and WADA considers supplemental oxygen as doping, a pilot could
be prosecuted for using it, even if air rules make it mandatory. That
contradiction has now officially been dealt with.


Bet they worked overtime to resolve this important and thorny issue.

Actually, I was contemplating setting a racing height limit of 12,500'
MSL so I could file a protest and have everyone ahead of me in the
standings disqualified - allowing me to pick up a championship or two.
