Did Apollo get hosed on that DQ call ?
think he got a canadian homer against him on that one, although he had been getting a lot of fortunate breaks with guys falling etc before that.

But that Canadian guy fell on his own- took a dive- it was like taking and faking a charging call in hoops- but it worked for him, he got a medal

If I were Ono , I would tell the guy, " Wow, I really pushed ya down hard , huh ? Sorry "

what a cheap way to get a medal - hope he feels good

Obama will probably appoint one of his worshippers to position of Olympic czar to investigate!

Since he didnt deserve his first medal, this kind of balances it out at least.....

It was a tough call, but it didn't appear that his hand pushed him. Tough break.
