What the heck
What the heck
They did the same thing to Gatlin after the 4 x 100.
Crappy thing to do on live TV
The reporter was an ass.
Because they're dicks.
agree. you shouldnt discover you lost silver on national tv from a guy that doesnt know why you were
That reaction was tough to watch. That wasn't fair to do to him. He literally went from the greatest moment of his life to his worst on national TV.
It's all about the reporter (and the anchorman/woman) on TV.
The athletes are completely disposible.
NBC is deplorable
That's great TV.
The athlete is there.
The interviewer has the news.
How does he not tell him right then?
What are the oddsthey can appeal back fo rthe silver? I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Why is track and field like speed skating?
I was excited for this guy. There have been so many dqs. What did the other 2 do to push Lagat up?
TO MAKE IT EVEN WORSE HE WAS DQed FOR STEPPING OVER THE RAIL AND THEY SHOW SOME USELESS VIDEO OF SOME PUSHING.
Why don't the officials tell the athletes involved before the media?

You tell him before the interview starts. Its the only DECENT thing to do.
Are you kidding?
The camera is on them live.
You report.
They're not telling him his mother died.
It's just a race.
But the network would be passed if he did that off camera.
Autocorrect didn't like me writing "pissed" I guess.
Anyone have a link to the interview?

No, it's total B.S.
It would be like telling a reporter he won a Peabody (or whatever they win) and then live on air saying "Oh, actually no award plus you've been fired. Yeah, we think you broke a law so the network is firing you now. Security will walk you to your car."
Chelimo gets his Silver back so it's all good.
I'd like to see them interview him live again with the update.
And NBC is missing is Maury Povich popping out and telling Farah, "Mo, our tests show you are NOT the father of those twins. How does that make you feel?"
