www.swimming.org.au/.../results_details.cfm I hope this link works..........but if not Ian Thorpe was DQed in prelims of the 400 Free at the Australian Olympic Trials!!!!!!! Australia's selection policy is as strict as the US one.........Thorpe will not contest the 400 Free at the Olympics! I wish all meet management softwares were required to show the reason for the DQ...........it could have been a false start or a no show due to illness or injury or bizare circumstance.........i hate not knowing!

What, are you going to say a one handed touch in breaststroke is o.k. as long as you only do it once? The rules are the rules. Everyone know it's one false start and you're out.
