He had the third fastest 100m time at the trials, which should have placed him on the relay (even if we ignore his Olympic experience and well established ability to perform when it counts--not to mention the fact that he was healthy, unlike Crocker).
I think it's very unlikely he would have gone 50.05 in the finals. Hall swims, they win the silver, maybe the gold.
