    Didn't Brian Sweenor have a mini receiver in his ear for some of his

    oarheads) uses a 2-way micro transceiver, as do other pro cyclists to
    comm w/ their support crew and director/manager during races.
    I think FISA specifically has outlawed coaching an individual/crew
    during a race. I might suspect USRA has adopted this policy as well.
    (Ron, Jay: insights on any or all of above?)

    I did during practice but not during racing
