Crooked Judges at IAAF

Quote:It sure sounds like he acted like an ass after being disqualified. Throwing a temper tantrum like some whiney 6 year old isn't really a good way to make people sympathetic to your cause.
Think about it. He probably dreamed all his life about winning the World Championships, he's been training for years getting ready for this and then is disqualified even though it's obvious that Apo started first. The way the blocks work is they sense the pressure on them and they know when the gun goes off. According to the computer, a human cannot react in under 0.1 of a second. But both Jon took off at 0.08 of a second. So he was disqualified because of the way someone prgrammed the computer. Also if you look at the replay like I said before, it's very clear that Apo took off first.

Quote:I see no evidence whatsoever that the judges were "crooked". Care to back that up?
The judges saw the replay and still disquaified Jon, even though it's clear Apo took off first. So they were trusting a computer more than themselves. Maybe crooked isn't the right word but it's close. Jon could have a lawsuit here too. If he can prove that he didn't take off and that the computer is wrong. If you win the race there are going to be companies wanting your face on every cereal box, every bag of chips, millions of dollars worth of endorsements. On top of killing his dream they take away the chance at millions of dollars. So he could sue the IAAF for millions of dollars if he could prove they were wrong. I'm not sure if he actually will, but when I saw the race he looked ready to punch the VP right in the face. If he does I hope he wins
But I told that kid a hundred times "Don't take the Lakes for granted.
They go from calm to a hundred knots so fast they seem enchanted."
But tonight some red-eyed Wiarton girl lies staring at the wall,
And her lover's gone into a white squall.
