phelps 6,792 Posted August 15, 2019 #23 Share Posted August 15, 2019 but now because of this rule, will they also review the 50km race walking results of the 1991 world champs in Tokyo, where Potashov and Perlov (both from Soviet Union, at the last international appearance with that name) finished together in 1st place keeping their hands?

Griff88 1,735 Posted August 15, 2019 #29 Share Posted August 15, 2019 It seemed harsh but if it is not enforced, the race is a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcro 10,179 Posted August 15, 2019 #30 Share Posted August 15, 2019 I don't think it was harsh at all. With this result fixing, consequently they could have shared available prize money and/or ranking points. And that just comes on top of making a mockery of competition and being disrespectful to other racers. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
