Minor Malorum Duorum

A star high school track runner has been barred from a big competition because the unitard she wears under her usual team uniform supposedly violates the competition rules. I say supposedly, because when you read the write-up, it doesn't really sound as much like it violates the rules, as much as that guy who enforces the rules just doesn't like it. Bearing in mind that she's been wearing it in competitions in the same region for 3 years. What the article doesn't say is probably more interesting... is that guy new? Is he representing a panel, or is he acting on his own? Is there an appeal option? This is in Washington, DC, so any Scyllans who've heard local news coverage about it might have more details?
