Does anyone have proof that Mekhissi filed the protest or was it just a race official that caught it and made the call?
Either way the bronze medal in the men's steeple is now just as tainted as any medal won by a doper.
Mekhissi came through the finish with three fingers up claiming he was third at that point. I don't know if the officials instigated the formal protest, but while the race was finishing, Mekhissi was clearly indicating Kemboi had fouled.
