That's bull.
Mo stiff armed Chelimo at the start of the bell lap. Of course they'll never DQ a big name like Mo. The Ethiopians were throwing elbows all race & blocking runners. Either let them race or DQ all the above.

Now a big name like Lagat gets a medal & makes a new$ $tory.

And did NBC wait to break it to Chelimo on live TV that he was disqualified? That's pretty classless. Probably looking for an over reaction from him to make more new$.

I agree at least half a dozen could have been disqualified,A lot of the disqualifications seem very random.it would have been interesting to see if Chelimo would have been disqualified if he still had been running for the IOC and IAAFs darling nation Kenya.I bet you he wouldnt have been.
