What the fuck?
Some guy dressed up in traditional Irish attire tackled the leader and pushed him into the crowd.

Yeah I saw that. He came running across the street and pushed the leader way back into the crowd...and kept pushing until someone grabbed a hold of him.

Would you be able to keep the gold if you were the Italian guy and think its not tainted?

Yea he can keep it. It happened 4 miles out and the Brazilian was in a good mood over it.

As one guy said, it would be arguable if there was a sprint to the finish but he was passed awhile back.

It's history and just debate in the relm of what ifs.

The fact the Kenyans and the Ethiopians finished way back says something
