Botswana’s Tshepiso Masalela crossed the line first in a men’s 1500m race at the Copernicus Cup but was disqualified under Rule 7.1 (“unsporting or improper conduct”) after miming finger-gun gestures toward competitor Azeddine Habz before the finish.
On the latest episode of "This Week In Track and Field" on the CITIUS MAG Podcast, Chris Chavez and Preet Majithia discuss whether the sport should encourage personality and showmanship or enforce strict decorum.
Some say, “DQ was justified” as a way to protect sportsmanship
Others say: “Punish it, but don’t erase the result” since the DQ seen as disproportionate
One more camp says: “Let them show personality” since track is too uptight
