It was kind of a B.S. disqualification, it was so close. Why can't the American men put it together for a championship 4x1?
when did the american 4x1 teams decide to start sucking so bad? dropped batons, running out of lane. i guess they'll wait until 2011 before they double-false-start.
It's bs, Crawford didn't let go of the baton until both are well inside the line. I don't get how the officials can't see that.
Were these protests filed within the 30 min time requirement?

Can't tell you because I wasn't in the official's box reviewing it with Great Britain's team....
I'd be surprised if you did know, lol. But considering how the event was completed 2 hours ago and we're hearing this now is just making me curious...
well, the feeds aren't live. they're edited and cut. obvious when you see the same running events that you've already seen in the backgrounds of the long/high jump almost 90 mintues later in the broadcast hahaha.
good thing great britain has a bunch of fags for a 4x100 team
Nice one, GB. We save your butts in WWII and all you can do is get us dq'd in the 2009 WC men's 4x1 semi-final? It looked like your sorry tails made the final anyway. What's all the fuss about? Isn't it tea time or something?

Stinking American cheaters trying to get away with it again. We aint taking your crap no more, you filthy Iraqi Holocaust creators.
shut up fag
the iaaf results page still has USA as 37.97Q. Not DQ.
is there any confirmation on this besides the bbc report?
Versus reported the DQ before going off the air.
Great. Doug Logan's going to call for another committee to review what went wrong. They will come up with a huge report that calls for USATF to schedule every practice and race of every US runner.
I have reviewed the race - NO DQ - my ruling is final - bet US WILL FICK AGAIN in the final -
Weldon Johnson called from Berlin to say that he had spoken with Tom Surber of USATF. Surber confirmed that American has been given the DQ.
However, there is an appeal. The appeal however may not be heard until tomorrow.
