what a joke
Why in the F>>> didnt they say anything about Mo clipping Mead and now Chilimo gets Dq' for just been in his line!! That is total Bull S@th!!!!! F(**&^^ that give Chelimo his medal! He earned fair and square!
I'm pretty sure I saw one of the Ethiopians stick both his arms out wide as he fell back at one point and impeded the entire race. I was wondering if that would get brought up but no one said anythibg

This sport is a joke. Haha. Crying.
In basketball, it's said that you shouldn't even know the officials are there. Track should be the same!

Chelimo was fouled a lot more than anyone else in the field on that last lap. Farah fouled him in the next to last turn, a lot worse than anything they might scapegoat Chelimo with. Free Chelimo!
3 separate times people went to pass him and he stuck his arms out and impeded them

Farah's shove of Chelimo was the worst contact I saw. It was intentional and hard enough that it affected Chelimo's stride. Looked like a stiff arm in American football. Hope Chelimo files a protest against Farah.
Props to Chelimo for how well he handled this when told about it on a live interview. He gained a lot of respect from me. I'm not sure I would have handled it that well. :)

Exactly what Farah did to Chelimo at the bell lap start. Except Farah threw him off stride.
I've watched it 10 times what Chelimo did was far worse.
This is so dumb.
The reasons I like watching running are just disappearing.
All the drug use was bad enough.
Now, in a physical race, a truly special moment is tarnished by the equivalent of a whistle-happy ref.
What crap.
Looks like he also stepped off of the track the first turn of the last lap
Reinstated to silver
