Only Usain Bolt Can Beat Usain Bolt

Usain Bolt's DQ ends his three year dominance in the 100. After the disqualification which came Sunday in South Korea a visibly upset Bolt refused the medias request for comments saying, "Not going to happen."

A minor uproar ensued after Bolt's DQ on Sunday and could lead to changes in track's awful false start rule. The "one and done" rule has been on the books since 2010 and has led to a number of high-profile athletes getting kicked out of races before they begin. (Runners used to get two false starts. In 2003, the rule was changed to assign the first false start to the entire field.) The rule is made for television and fans, neither of whom, it is thought, want to see countless false starts and the delays that accompany them. That may be true. But what fans really don't want to see is a 100-meter final without Usain Bolt. Read the Full Story and See Usain Bolt's false start Here
