....by disqualifying IAN THORPE in a trial HEAT!!! He's unbeaten in the 400m, and is the world record holder, but won't be able to defend his crown at the olympic games because he fell in the pool when the starter left them too long on the blocks.

What the heck?? Are the Australians insane? Can we not get an exception for the best swimmer we have? Who's running the show? What is the mood in Australia about this? I just read about it.
