So I just looked up the results for the ladies 1500m and it shows three women were DQ'd (including Kampf)
Sifuentes is now the bronze medalist
Anyone have insight on this?

Here is the link to the results, BTW:
Arafi, Hilali and Kampf were DQ'd
All DQs cited rule: DQ R163.3(b)
Apparently Nick Willis was just DQ'd for the same violation?
I saw Arafi I think step on the inside of the rail at one point, so it's all probably due to that.
there was also some grabbing at the finish line that might of caused it

You can see what looks to be arafi grabbing hold of kampf(?) that may explain some of the DQs
At 5:21 in the video you can clearly see Hilali stepping over the rail.
All of the DQ's are rather ironic. Furor in the USA over DQ's but I suspect that there will be no equal furor or deep investigation of each and every DQ at the WC event.
Did Alberto stick his head into the room with all of the IAAF members and demand DQ's?
I think we need to start a new thread ... does Alberto control the IAAF and the USATF? If so, he is one powerful man ... and perhaps he can negotiate a truce between Russia and Ukraine?

5:02ish you can see Kampf trips herself up after catching her own leg.
ALBERTO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think Kampf is pissed! lol this is funny.
Lane violation, stepping on the inside of the rail.
It is weird how many of them there are. I wonder if athletes are getting shoved to the inside on purpose.
ALBERTO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think Kampf is pissed! lol this is funny.
That is kind of hilarious that Sifuentes will end up with a bronze medal. Especially since she barely got in the final.
News Flash
Alberto Salazar is not in Poland right now
Try again
I'm hoping that the WSJ does a major follow-up ... it might take one of their investigation journalists years to come to a final conclusion based on private emails, HD video and in depth discussions with those runners who were given contracts, not given contracts, hoping for contracts.
A lot of hungry dogs and not enough meat to support the sport.
Heather Kamph fell again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Correct 163.3(b0 is a running inside lane or curb violation
That was a dirt race, tripping, pushing, and jumping in front of other people. -
The Morroccan tried to pass Moser on the inside and stepped inside the rail.
Kampf clipped her foot against Moser and went down.
Not sure about the Albanian.
Hilali no longer DQ'd
