Absolutely.  But if you DQ one country, you have to hold up that rule on other countries.  I don't like the rule either, but it's about fairness.  But whatever, they get bronze apparently anyway.  Until the USA appeals and they say they can re-run the race and get the gold.  

Canada in 2012 was DQed due to stepping on the line on a bend. It's different than stepping on a straight.

USA has been disqualified for Mike Rodgers passing the baton to Justin Gatlin before the exchange zone, not for Bromell stepping on the line

Agree.  But it's the rule, apparently.  I remember reading about it a lot in 2012.  Any lane violation is an automatic DQ.  It's fine, though, I would be fine if Japan doesn't get DQed.

US sprinter Mike Rogers just told me US is protesting the DQ. Stay tuned the night is young.

 

Would be so cruel to Canada if its overturned.
