I believe both of these teams involved in this are honest, fair minded and professionally run organizations and I do not believe either of them are cheaters. The thing that most puzzles me about this whole thing is why? I just have a hard time believing either team would do something so obviously in violation of a clearly stated rule at the very front of the rule book without some kind prior approval or consent.

To paraphrase Ricki Ricarrdo, "USAC, you got some splainin to do"!
