Gay also stepped on the outside of his lane in the finals. Nobody mentioned it because that is NOT a violation as long as you don't impede the runner next to you. It is also NOT a violation to step on the line on the straight if you don't gain a material advantage or impede another runner. Stepping on the inside on a curve for more than a step is a violation. USATF Rule #163.
Typical example of posters on here knowing next to nothing about track and field.
it may not be a DQ, but they're not supposed to hand out medals right away as if results were official either. They were doing that all night.
You're supposed to have time to review video and make protests. Especially in relays.

Actually gay stepped over the line and into the lane on his inside.
