The great Elvstrom was by no means averse to sportsmanlike gamesmanship and making use of the rules to the limit.

But he was also renowned for scrupulous honesty on the racecourse which, really, is my point.

I think there's a massive difference between using the agreed rules (under which youve implicitly agreed to compete) and, say, claiming a british knight of the realm has hit a mark when he hasn't...
