Not an excuse. That just means they should be tougher on people so that cheating becomes less common.

How is that even remotely the same thing? Does slowing himself down in the semifinals somehow make him compete against slower runners in the finals? No? Then it's not even a comparison.
Quote: And I wonder if they would've disqualified British teams out...
Hurrr. Yeah, these things are totally decided by members of one country and not an international committee
.I like the way you ignored the fact posted in the report earlier that the Chinese Olympic committee didn't even try and appeal the decision, and started another inquiry of their own in to the behaviour of the athletes.
The fact that they didn't appeal it is pretty much an admission that they don't want to put up with that pomegranate either.
