"It therefore is useless and pointless, unless it is for share malice and victimisation to arrest and charge a 92-year-old man for such a simple offence. There is nothing morally wrong with this man smoking a spliff; the only thing wrong is that it is still on the law books," said Chevannes. -

RIO DE JANEIRO — It was a disaster, pure and simple. And then, a reprieve.
The U.S. women's 4x100 relay dropped the baton on the second exchange on Thursday in the qualifying heats, knocking them out of the final. However, Allyson Felix said she was bumped by a Brazilian runner right before she got to the zone, and replays confirmed. Brazil was disqualified, and a U.S. appeal was upheld.
But the Americans can't simply be advanced to the final on the eight-lane Rio track, so there will be a surreal scenario on Thursday night — the USA's 4x100 relay running alone in a time trial at 7 p,m. in Rio (6 ET). The USA will have to run faster that 42.70, which would replace eight-place qualifier China.
An initial statement from USA Track and Field to USA TODAY Sports suggested that there might be a second run-off between China and Canada, who both clocked 42.70, but the IAAF took the time out to the thousandths, which places Canada seventh.

That rough. Perhaps all 3 should have been in the run-off. At least give everybody affected another chance."It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men" - Frederick DouglassComment

Just looked at the race again.
Why wasn't English Gardner hugging the inside of the lane as she should have been, as all the other athletes were doing? This would have allowed Felix the room to run away from the outside line and avoid colliding with the Brazilian runner.
For Felix to hand over the baton with her left hand to Gardner's right she really would have to be running in the outer lane. Both girls were practically running in the middle of the lane! Look at the other lanes - that's how you make a baton change!
Gardner screwed up! They should never have been reinstated!
