Unfortunately Algrave, we are getting a bit old and technology sometimes by passes us, this was just another one of those occasions, we got sky, sky plus etc, just need someone to show us how to use it all.0

We didn't get disqualified, we got 'Relegated' same as the Chinese.sam3110 said:So they got demoted, but we got disqualified for the same thing? So were we hard done by, or were te Chinese lucky, or were they not breaking the rules anyway? Bloody confusing
It's dependent on what round you're in. We did it in the qualifing round and so were relegated to bottom of that round against all the other teams. The Chinese did it in the last round (the final) so were relegated to the bottom of that round, and as there's only 2 teams they can only be relegated to 2nd (Silver).

I can understand the rationale behind the rule - its a bit like offside (as Mark Cavendish put it) and it stops the rider getting a flyer on the last lap. But with all that time training and the effort put in why not make the qualifying round a situation whereby they race three times and take the best two times - if they get disqualified once then they still have a chance?

What doesn't help is the BBC talking them up and interviewing everyone else asking them why they are so great.nth london addick said:I didn't think he sounded very British and he said he had been here a few years now

I saw Hindes interviewed on BBC and I think he misunderstood one of the questions put to him. Why would he deliberately fall off from the start and potentially injure himself?nth london addick said:We cheated in that hoy race can you imagine the moaning if we lost the medal and someone said

Look at hoys face in that interview , people are playing it down because they are British
That lad didn't get the start he wanted and deliberately dropped the bike
He admitted it and subsequently was told to button it and every interview after the cycle team director has been present
The thing stinks0 -

I still think it was a clumsy use of English. He clearly didn't understand what "you were trying to pull a fast one" means when he was interviewed.0

UCI and IOC saying there is no case to answer, so no cheating according to them0
-
The best team won with a world record so lets stop all this cheating nonsense from where I was sitting it looked like the bike failed in any case there is no rule covering it so no case to answer. Jeez some people!0

Spirit of the games broke though without a doubt ,
the rules will change because of this incident
To me the Olympics is not just a great sporting event it is more of the embodiment of the full spirit of what it means to be an athlete the best there is leaves a bad taste in the mouth
If he hadn't of said what he did no one would've even known
He knew what he was doing he admitted it , and was then told to button it0 -

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) and world cycling's governing body the International Cycling Union (UCI) both say Britain's gold medal in Thursday's men's team sprint will stand despite Team GB's lead-off man Philip Hindes admitting he deliberately crashed to force a restart after making a slow start to their heat.
British Cycling later claimed German-born Hindes' comments were "lost in translation".
Asked if the IOC would be looking at the result, its spokesman Mark Adams said: "At present there are no plans to do so. Our view is that people were not deprived of a contest." A spokesperson for the UCI added: "We do not have any reason to question the result of the race."

as much as I don't like to admit it, Hindes did clearly admit to falling of on purpose. His English clearly wasn't perfect as when she asked if he was trying to 'pull a fast one', he said "yes, I wanted to go off fast". Bur he did admit to a slight error and falling off would restart the race. I agree with NLA to a certain extent but we don't get much luck in sport, so quite frankly, I don't give a monkeys right now.0
