Hyrox Coach Has a Career in ERISA

You may have seen the story about the Hyrox champion who bravely finished a race despite incontinence problems that, shall we say, were uncomfortable to watch. She has been criticized in various circles, in some cases harshly. 

In response, her coach, Chris Bayens, said the following: "[The] decisions [of athletes, judges and officials] can be reviewed and lessons can be taken from them. But judging someone's intent, character or morality through the clarity of hindsight is neither fair nor honest." 

Hmm. Sounds like quite the cogent 404 analysis.*

* Maybe the analysis can even be cited by the DOL in connection with its attempted finalization of the proposed rule regarding the choosing of designated investment alternatives (which has come to be viewed as an alternative-asset rule, but which is really much broader).
