Evidence was provided which I think is persuasive and would allow for an individual to conclude that Stunningly is doing that, but I don't think it can be "proven" in the sense that we cannot know it to be an absolute certainty, short of Stunningly admitting it. In the same way, Stunningly and Vanquish essentially cannot prove that he isn't doing it, because as the often repeated phrase goes: you can't prove a negative. They can rebut the claims, and they can offer alternative explanations which may or may not be persuasive, but they cannot actually *prove* that Stunningly ISN'T scripting his race starts, logically.

In any event, the important part isn't if Stunningly the individual is doing it, or even if multiple people are. The meaningful aspect of this is that the legitimacy of the actual means of competing for FTE is called into question. Without some very compelling answers, it's not unreasonable to treat footraces with a /random 1000 start as fundamentally flawed to the point of being illegitimate and therefore unfair. If what we are seeking on p99 is a place for fair competition, then this model should no longer be considered viable. The task now is to find something to replace it.
