Come on, yes there was some compact 800 meter racing, not a theatre enactment though. Thompson was simply making a bid to win and Primm kind of had a panic attack about letting him get around, which ultimately led to him fading out of the race. He lost composure with about 250 to go.
If Primm's progress was impeded, that should have been a DQ.
All in all, it sounds like typical Oregon sportsmanship. Did they also sucker-punch the guy after the meet was over?
I'm not a UCLA fan, but maybe they should return the favor at regionals, and take Wheating out of NCAAs. Then UCLA athletes can share hugs for outing Wheating.
