Questions are being raised over whether one of the country's top rowing schools should be allowed to compete in this week's Maadi Regatta due to an earlier cheating scandal.

Hamilton Boys' High admitted to 17 rule breaches across major regattas from 2021 to 2023 and was fined and stripped of several titles.

Now, as Hamilton Boys' chase more silverware at the national championships in Twizel, this week, some are questioning whether the sanctions went far enough.
