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!

I saw this on NBC I think. He didn't even come close to DQing in the normal sense. He fell off the blocks when he went to take his start. He actually "egg rolled" off the blocks. To me, though I don't make the rules, he fell and wasn't close to starting. This is going to make for an interesting Olympics.
