I've considered a similar concept, but with a jury randomly selected from participants. The regulations are for the riders, so they should be by the riders.
Something along these lines should not be difficult to achieve. After all, we're not talking about anything unduly harsh, like suspensions.
All that needs to happen is that the offending bike/rider would be excluded from the road bike section of the event - so he could still ride in the 'open' section for a time. He would not have wasted his entry fee and petrol.

“The spirit” however is so vague
Whilst I think a tt frame with 1000 quid handlebars designed specifically to give you a tt position whilst looking like road bars is not the spirit with more aero benefits hanging 12 inches off your arse with also what looks like a chest fairing is not in the spirit it is a roadbike for all intents and purposes.
This is why I gave up tt in 2010. It’s just a ball ache of emotion, its way too much of a weapons war than a true test as is the idea.
