Andrew Gemmell and Fran Crippen closed with tremendous finishes to capture the silver and bronze behind winner Thomas Lurz of Germany. Soon after the completion of the race, Italy and Greece filed a protest of Crippen's finish. According to the protest, Crippen allegedly swam outside the lane lines of the finish chute.
The protest has been accepted by the FINA judge, and the U.S. contingent has filed an appeal. The appeal will be adjudicated by tomorrow morning, and as early as later this evening. FINA will not confirm or post official results until the protest and subsequent appeal are concluded.
