I was surprised when apparently at the end the Chinese team decided not to contest it, and there isn't much actual clear footage of this incident. The brits are truly reinforcing their true colors. Best thing about this world champs is still Gatlin winning gold baby!!!
Yeah I was pretty surprised by that. I don't think it was intentional but it looked like Gemili clearly slowed the Chinese exchange
The conflict apparently began earlier in the week, when the Chinese team refused to sell opium to the British team.

I doubt the British sprint team wanted the opium the Chinese could offer. They were trying to negotiate the LOWEST possible price on IGF-1 RF 3 and couldn't get things done.
At least the Japan got bronze. A bold statement here... but they might REALLY be the only competitive nation in sprints that are truly clean.
