In a statement, the IAAF insisted Makwala had been "diagnosed with an infectious disease" on Monday evening by event doctors.
"The decision to withdraw him from the 200m heats last night and the 400m final today was made on the basis of a medical examination conducted in the warm-up medical centre by a qualified doctor on Monday and recorded in the electronic medical record system of the championships," the statement said.
It added: "The IAAF is very sorry that the hard work and talent of Isaac Makwala won’t be on display tonight but we have to think of the welfare of all athletes."

Prediction.
There will be no test data to support the diagnosis. Its going to be "the doctor's qualified opinion only": which rhymes with other doctors 12% of the time. This is the statistic in agreement in diagnosis of first opinion.
If you are going to throw a name athlete out for both events, then you need tests and communication with the athlete and team.
You would assume that they took the guy's temperature at least, but I will give that assumption 50/50 odds.

So the prediction is that they made a heavy handed decision, in gross error, and they are going to go to the wall defending this travesty with bla,bla,bla, baffle them with bullsh**it.
Watch and see and learn.
