I would image any case of a foul being called due to clipping a runner's heels would be the same, and that has happened many times.
You seem to be looking for one in which the runner didn't fall. I don't think the fact that Jordan didn't fall should take away from the fact that she was fouled and could have fallen.
Remember, the foul is in the action, not in the result(falling).

actually I have no clue what you are trying to say. this is what it should be:
"It’s easy to see how the mistake happened. The referee was told there was a foul involving Bumbalough/Rupp near the 2k mark. He goes back and watches the tape, sees contact and disqualifies Bumbalough, failing to realize that the runner making contact was Hill, not Bumbalough."

you're right no example so far. But we also have no examples of an track athlete running into the back of two deferent runners within 100 meters of a race. As the announcer puts it GG- "She is like a out of control toy car".

When did Weldon tell Alberto or any representative that he wa unwilling to tell his side of the story? I guarantee that they would love to interview Alberto. You can't say that letsrun is only telling one side of the story and not return phone calls.
For the record the WSJ onal y told alone side of the story as well. FOR THE SAME REASON

There's no video evidence of anyone ever getting a ticket for driving 500 mph on a freeway.
Therefore this must be okay, and if someone did get a ticket for this then it wouldn't be fair.

Exactly. As I wrote to Alberto Salazar's son, we did not see the incident. So we can only report what other people who witnessed the incident or were in the incident said happened. That's how it works.

Ok, it now seems pretty certain the official got confused and meant to DQ Ryan Hill and not Andrew Bumbalough in the men's 3k.
I've heard a few people post that Gabriele Grunewald should have been DQd.
My reaction after watching both videos is "Absolutely not a DQ."
My second reaction is "I've never seen someone DQd for something similar to whay both the officials tried to DQ Grunewald and Hill for."
My
challenge to the people who believe in the DQ for either/both runners is post past examples
(video preferred) of any pro race where people were DQd for such
incidental contact. I can come up with a bunch of examples where people
aren't DQd for siilar and much more egregious contact but I'd like to see at least one example
for where they were.
