Runner Disqualified After Helping Collapsed Rival Finish Race

[PoliticalNick]

Compared to you? Yes, I am. As is demonstrated by the fact that you don't appear to understand what "disqualified" means. But here's a hint, just for your pointy little head. A disqualified competitor cannot win.

Here's an example for the particularly slow-witted. Let's say this lad won, and the day after the race tested positive for performance enhancing drugs. He would be disqualified, and his win taken away. Regardless of the fact that the race was over. For breaking the rules of the sport.

Hope that helped. I'll bill you.

First they don't test for drugs the day after a race they do it immediately after. If they waited there would be a defense that the drugs were taken after the event. Just like being in a hit and run and pounding a bunch of whiskey when you get home...you get charged with hit & run but not DUI because they cannot prove you were intoxicated at the time of the accident. So if they tested him immediately after crossing the finish line (as they do in the olympics etc) they can then say the drugs were in his system while in the competition and disqualify him. A test done a day later or any other random time can be used to preclude him from entry into future events but not remove any wins or results prior to the test.

Now take YOUR pointy little head back to law school and possibly also high school if you find the logic too hard to follow.

Send a bill if you like....I will counter with your failure to provide and adequate defense through incompetence.

You think that the full range of legal protections applies to sports?

That's so cute!

I look forward to your explanation of how Jim Thorpe was stripped of his medals after he won them.

I'd tell you to look up the IOC rules on banned substances, but I doubt you'd understand what you were reading.

Did Jim schoenfeld get suspended for drugs?
