Les:

What are the doping rules? Is alcohol okay?

On a more serious note, I notice that FIAC uses the old USCF 2-metre
unfaired bike rule. Do unfaired recumbents dominate the TTs to any
obvious extent? Do Y-Foils?

Yes, provided that you ride straight and stay upright.

The old USCF and new FIAC rules are the same because they were written
by the same guy -- me. To my knowledge, no recumbents have entered FIAC
events so far but some did enter a few USCF events before they were
banned. Placings depended mainly on the motor, not the bike.
