In a combined race, even the fastest women have something to draft behind that rides faster than they normally could: a man.

Ok, but every single race has people drafting behind others that are faster than them, right? Why is it a-ok for a slow man to draft behind a fast man, but it's cheating for a woman to draft behind a man?

    Only the second person can draft, not the first. In this case the first person drafted, I think that's what this is about right?

    Edit: oh shit I'm not a woman, so I am not allowed to participate

    Ok I feel like that's a fair distinction, and in this case, makes it clear where the blame should be pointed: the race organizers. If it's the case that the person in the first position isn't allowed to draft, the race organizers should set the start times to where that isn't a possibility.
