Who agrees that....?

Question

Poor Churandy Martina was robbed of his Silver medal??

Answer 1

If he's good enough to run in an Olympic final he must have been in enough competitions to know the rules. He broke the rules and the rules are final.

My answer is no- I don't agree.

Answer 2

Its unfair. Bolt was soooooooo fast and so far ahead that they lost there bearings and started to straighten up. Bolt should have been kicked out for impeeding other athletes for being so fast.  

Answer 3

Can't agree because I have not idea who that is.

Answer 4

totally :)

Answer 5

I think so, but if he did cross then lane then he was rightfully disqualified. I dont think its that nice tho if he was only DQ'ed after the Americans filed the complaint.  

Answer 6

Churand violated the rules on national T.V.

Strip the Silver, the same thing would happen to anyone. If an American runner had crossed lanes, there woudl have been a riot and people calling for execution.

What's fair is fair, don't' be a sore loser.

Answer 7

Hmm...

Answer 8

I don't know much about track, but I guess he stepped out of his line which is bad. So therefore his medal was taken away

If you think he was robbed, then so was Wallace Spearmon(American)

Answer 9

yeah, I will go with the leprechaun. just don't know who ya talking about!

Answer 10

Since Spearman was disqualified for running out of his lane, why should Martina be any different?  

Answer 11

Who?

Answer 12

While it is a shame and sad that his Silver medal was taken away, fair is fair.  If the rules state you cannot step out of your lane, then those are the rules and they should be followed.

If we want other countries to follow the rules, than we need to lead by example and do so ourselves.
