If he'd been wearing a bra under his vest they wouldn't be able to complain.

Chaos would surely ensue, the end of order as we know it. Sheesh! Fun and celebration disallowed until after the line, eh. Keep off the grass!
Taking off your vest, taking performance enhancing drugs, taking a short-cut all get the same penalty, eh? Yeah! I can see that.
