Yes they do. According to Mosnews's entertaining commentary, as "strong wind
and flow snatched out resilient dolls from strong men's hands", only
40-year-old Igor Osipov was left to make the final climactic dash to the finish
line. At this point, however, "the jury then noticed Osipov's strange position
and told him to moor. When he came out of the water, gazers saw signs of recent
sexual activity on the swimmer's doll."
The mind boggles. The judges then "found the swimmer guilty of sexual abuse of
the apparatus and disqualified him" because, as the organisers explained: "Air
sex dolls can be used only for swimming."
We conclude by repeating what our correspondent Matt noted when forwarding us
this gem: "I can't think of an IT angle for this, but I'm not sure I really
care." We wholeheartedly agree.
