Having officiated races myself, I would have seen this as a learning moment for the commissar. First lesson is obviously that it should be 100% clear that he is a race official. Second is that instead of making the race safer stepping out like that made the race less safe. As for the swearing, that's a bit difficult to judge, I have zero problems with the swearing in and by itself, and I always keep in mind that an athlete pumped up on adrenaline is a different beast than their regular being. My considerations would be if they were undermining the respect for the race rules and/or officials. Keeping in mind that in a situation with 2 people involved, there is usually 3 truths to it. Two subjective and one objective. The commissar may have seen things very differently. This may have been a case where he didn't realize he was causing the problem, and it seems reasonable for this to go away.

If you look to the right, behind the official, there is a dog on a leash, and swearing in front of the dog can harm its feelings. The dog might need counseling after this ordeal. You should have said "Hello sir thank you for standing in the road with your whistle in a very dangerous manner, can you please just step back up onto the curb and off the course! And please sir when you step back do not step on the Dog right behind you." That is the way you go about these things, not swearing!

He’s representing a serious and immediate risk to everyone around you on the road and it was absolutely right to tell him in no uncertain terms to remember the danger he presented and to get back behind barriers or out of the way.

Many took no notice of the riders, they didn’t get upstream of the numerous crashes to warn riders and several just waved their yellow flags continually to show how much fun they were having. The BC rules and regulations include hundreds of pages of onerous regulations regarding the riders but say nothing about how the officials should behave or how they should be identified on the circuit.

The lesson here is to always wear a camera, this man deserved a few harsh words. He knew he was in the wrong and was likely embarrassed or had his fragile feelings hurt when the rider decided to be down to earth with him, hence the complaint..rider didn’t scream it at the top of his lungs, nor were there very many people within earshot. Complaint should be tossed entirely. The officials actions were unsafe, no regard for his own nor rider safety. Stay out of the road. Furthermore as mentioned, he looks nothing like any of the other officials. I would have assumed him to be a spectator or coach and likely would have done the same thing. Only person who should be disciplined is the man who should most definitely know better than to step out into the middle of the fking road during a race..unmarked.

If you ran into him,would you be the one being disciplined? I would hope the onus would be on the 'unofficial ' official to get out of the way. I think the official needs some educating or retraining. Glad you didn't crash.

great filming, . I have heard plenty of swearing and forceful suggestions in all sports, notably football that doesn't even get a yellow card. What on earth is going on here is ridiculous,and it looks to me like that official needs to have a closer look taken at his own reckless and dangerous actions, especially as he was just dressed like a passer by. its not even like you swore at someone you thought was a race official, he could just have easily been some drunk passer by interfering with the race and actually needed some forceful language to get his attention and get him away both for the riders and pedestrians safety, and also his own. well done taking some fast positive action for everyone's benefit.

It's hard not to swear under the circumstances but people use it as deflection for their unacceptable actions, so it's best not to. On a closed circuit their behaviour was unacceptable, if the road was open then you may have to be prepared to avoid the public!

Anybody watching can clearly see what he did was wrong, like you say good job you had the camera otherwise it would have gone down a different route which shows what type of person he is.

No matter who the official was he should not be stood in the middle of the road! Let's assume for a second you hit him, went over the bars and broke your neck. Your claim (civil) against the official would be considerable and most likely you would have a legal claim against BC if he was acting in official capacity for them. Now let's say you ran into him and caused his death no court in the land would take the case further he would (or next of kin) would be entitled to Didley Squat......motto of the story your camera footage would be used as evidence. I'm shocked BC have not forced the official to a full apology to you for endangering your safety!!!
