mi nuh like it from morning.... What was wrong with the old one. They should give at least one for the field.

When you have two former world champions out because of this rule you know it is not worth it. The big difference is the friers now have a better chance to win.- Don't let negative things break you, instead let it be your strength, your reason for growth.

They changed the rules for live TV, simple as that. The media did not like the situation where you could potentially have 15 minutes before a 100m race finally is run.

Nonsense? Were athletes not complaining that he multiple restarts were causing them injuries? When the rule was changed to one false start charged to the field, didn't the friers start jumping the start to put pressure on the rest of the field? Who chatting nonsense now? Because idiot Bolt try pick the start the whole a unnuh have yuh panties in a bunch...

Stick to analysis of Vybz Kartel vs. Mavado.
The original rule was changed for live TV. Absolutely nothing to do with athletes and injury.
In case you didn't notice. I made my original statement before any of this transpired. One does not have to be a rocket scientist to see that this rule is not serving the sport well."It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men" - Frederick Douglass

Jorge Salcedo, the head of the technical commission of the IAAF, said the current system favoured the cheaters, who deliberately committed a first false start to put their opponents on edge.

How can one blame the rule? The fact is the rule affect the sport negitively it is not good for the sport. Bolt also false started in either last olympics or the worlds but managed to win.
The ahtletes need to protest these rules.- Don't let negative things break you, instead let it be your strength, your reason for growth. Life is for living and I won't spend my life feeling cheated and downtrodden.

Problem with reading and interpretation? OK let me take it down to moron level.
One reason the current rule is silly is because something as simple as twitching in your blocks can cause you to get thrown out of a race. With the original rule you would get a false start assigned to you, everyone get up, and settle back in your blocks. Second time is habit, no sympathy there.
