America's Cup expert Peter Lester says it comes down to who made the call. "I think a banning from this sport but let's get it very clear - I don't think it's necessarily who did the work on the boats. Who gave the instruction to do the work on the boats is probably the more pertinent point and getting to the bottom of that could be difficult.
An investigation has started under sailing's rule 69.
Well, its not like the lead bricks being moved around would have changed the results of the regattas ...
However the boats should have been inspected/measured prior to every regatta. I just don't see how RC or anyone else would knowingly do this given that the ACWS to them is pretty meaningless overall.
