I read today that an Algerian runner was disqualified from NOT trying his best in a race that he did not have to run to get to the next round. Apparently his team forgot to withdraw his name after he had qualified with his time in the previous round. Any way you look at it. That ruling is idiotic.

Do you have to force him to tire himself and risk injury for a bookkeeping error. Grow up! London Olympic Organizers.
