Detecting Cheating in Freediving - Static

TimoP said:

1) It must be in rules that whole STA performance must be done just in the front of judges.

2) In WR (attemp) cases an instrument (those are available) for measuring how much there is O2.

3) A rule, that you can't exhale during whole performance big amounts of air (big exhales only in the about last 2 mins.), if you want to get a white card.

If we get these, I'm really satisfied (for freedivers).
When AIDA rules will checked next time, I hope this will be considered.

did you possibly forget another airway?
​

The competitor must cry during
the whole duration​

9) Breathing through Ears:

competitor must wear closed earphones
(and listen to loud didgeridoo during whole attempt,
which helps with #8)
​

(change didgeridoo to whatever is most irritating to you)

10) Doping:

Judges must have access to bank accounts of
competitors in the six months prior to event

Are o2 and drugs the only way to cheat in static? Should music and pre recorded coaching or mind games on an ipod during a static be considered? What about cheating by favouritism of the judges? Breathing substantial amounts of 02 before the 45 minutes?
