elimination leg  penalty. In addition to being stripped of all their money and  receiving no allowance for the next leg of the race, teams were  forced to surrender all of their possessions, except for their  passports and the clothes they were wearing, for the remainder of  the race. (This penalty came to be referred to as "mugging" by  fans.) They were also no longer allowed to beg for money prior to  the start of the next leg (after the next leg started, they can beg  for money). The racers could also receive or buy clothing or  toiletries from other teams.
