As Chuck points out with the actual rules, contact is immaterial. Karelian herded Gio Ponti 5 paths across the track and then photoed him by a sheet of paper. It's a foul, and it's grossly apparent. If they ding-donged back and forth a path or two it would be one thing. But if you can't see that Gio Ponti's momentum is being carried wider and wider by the foe, I'm surprised. And as a proviso, I don't care for Gio Ponti or Clement.
