To me this is unnecessary verbage. If we are the 2 runners, and I am behing you & push you all the way home..that is OK. You can be assisted by another runner. Now if I pass you & start to pull you.. I am out for passing you..I am not out for assisting you. Further more it is not the intent of the ASA to make a runner assisted by one who is already out for passing... also out. I don't think ASA wants both runners out in that situation. The verbage "OR ASSISTING" should just be dropped I feel
