Question

I'm just doing some research is all.

Answer 1

18 fan is right, golf. Hold on I'll find the article

Aha!

Toyota Team Europe has been banned from competition for the next 12months, and the points already gained in the 1995 World Golf Championship have been taken away by the PGA.

"It's the most ingenious thing I have seen in 30 years of stick and ball sport." admitted PGA President Max Mosley after an extraordinary meeting of the PGA World Council convened following technical reports on Toyota from the British Open

The cause of complaint was that Toyota had fitted lightweight titanium molds inside the balls which were modified in three ways:

The restrictor was not sealed so it was possible to move it without touching the seals.

It was impossible for air to enter the ball without passing through the restrictor.

The position of the restrictor could be moved so it was further away from the VCG in the golf ball than the50 mm limit permitted.

It was discovered that these irregularities were made possible by a flange which had a special hidden bypass device which was held open against a very strong spring. The hose which connected the restrictor to the turbo had a metal casing inside, and attached to this casing were catches which could secretly force open the by-pass flange to the extent of 5 mm.

Max Mosley explained: "When the system was dismantled, the flange would automatically close itself and remove evidence that extra air could have entered the ball. This system not only allowed extra air which did not pass through the restrictor to enter the ball, but also the restrictor itself could illegally be moved further from the turbo.

Toyota has been banned from the PGA tour for the following year
