I think it is also worth mentioning that winning a Diamond League race includes a $50,000 first prize. The official who reinstated her gave her a $50,000 gift and screwed the second place runner and everyone else in the race out of thousands of dollars. Fair is fair, but money is, well, money.

It is $10,000 not $50,000. Ten thousand dollars. Not fifty thousand dollars.

Why would you come here spouting dribble of which you're completely ignorant and try to pass it off as fact? What compulsion drives you to do that? Don't you have something better to do?

re: wejo

I apologize for getting the number wrong($50,000 vs $10,000), I was just going by the graphic on the TV and I must not have heard it correctly.

But, the point remains the same. These are pro athletes who rely on prize money for part of their income. It would not have been fair to the other competitors to have allowed Schippers to have "won" the money when she so blatantly false started.

Stupid question. What do they do for deaf sprinters?

Good question.

I know that in swimming there is a camera flash with the starting beep.

Sergei Bubka was often given extra time when he vaulted. Stars are often coddled in many sports.

Yeah, they don't call traveling in the NBA no more. Lebron gets away with tons of crap.

The Norwegian crowd came to see Dafne run, not some nameless fat-arse American ghetto queen, so ....

re: Gramps

Bollocks. She should've been DQd like any other athlete. Anything else is corrupt and we don't need any more of that. One rule, simple. It's the purity of running/racing, not the greasy commercial corruption.

re: Jumba

Yet I can recall seeing Linford Christie disqualified for a false start at one major event - Olympics? I'm not sure. But th e rule should apply to everyone across the board.

Little observations like this is why I like coming here, as I feel like I'm in good company.
