Except that cheating - or 'misinterpretation of the rules' has been a problem
in Enduro. We didn't hear much about it in 2015, but in 2013 and 2014 it came
up almost every round. A former DH World Champ who switched to Enduro was even
DQ'd once for accepting a ride to the top of a stage when it was clearly
forbidden. The 'French Line' is a euphemism for cutting the course (but let's
not just let the French take the blame). It happened. It still happens. Steve
Peat has achieved enough and been around for so long that I think he has
earned the right to say that he doesn't like that event because of the
bickering surrounding that issue. It's a common theme among DH athletes in
particular that the amount of course camping going on in Enduro is making it
hard to enjoy for them.
