If you haven’t yet, watch the tape. There was clearly no foul. The question: Why did Gabriele Grunewald get disqualified?

The ruling embarrasses both Nike and the USATF and violates the integrity of the sport. Things will now change. You may be able to control a race, but you can’t control a movement.
