A year ago to the day - and the South African version of the Amateur Worlds was rocked: "Cape Town -
The women's race in the Argus Pick 'n Pay Cycle Tour was rocked by controversy on Sunday after Port
Elizabeth rider Anriette Schoeman, celebrating her third consecutive victory, was informed that a
mystery woman had finished ahead of her. Race officials spent four hours trying to work out whether
Ronelle Liss of Stellenbosch had beaten South Africa's top woman rider fair and square."

End result was that the fine lady, as well as her fine husband, were both found to have take
shortcuts to such extent that both managed to "win" the respective "A" rides for females and
males overall.

Quoted message said:Lynn Gagiolli was DQ'ed at Panoma for pacing off the pro men's field. Then they realized that she
didn't pace off the men's field so they reinstated her...then they found out the reason that she
had made up so much time was not that she paced off the men, it was that she got in a car, drove
for a while, then got back out and rode across the finish...so they DQed her again.
We have the greatest sport.
Thanks, Ronde Champ
