I remember this race clearly a young Bertrand Cameron was on this team (still in high school). and the track fans were crying out for Seymour Newman our best 4& 800m runner.

@@redrum4100 Well I think he ran 44.9 in the US champs ( I must have seen a video of it on here at some point ) so he obviously had talent, so there would have been no need to take drugs. I guess he thought he could go a lot faster. I used to run with his brother , Roger, in the Interbank athletics league for Barclays back in the 1970s. He was very good too.

@@ewaf88 Yeah, he won those champs in 44.93, the only non-US runner to have done so at the time (and yeah, brother a good runner too - now a meg-rich banker). "so he obviously had talent, so there would have been no need to take drugs." Agree with everything you say.

It's a shame that even now we don't no which country is going to stage the commonwealth games with less than 2 years to go. I think London at short notice to save it is the only solution.

“Ashton really hasn't got much chance of a medal" was ironic. Whilst Coleman meant that he was not a good enough runner (shame on you, David), he actually came away with no medal because the team was disqualified because Cohen, who dropped the baton for GB in the 1976 Olympics, couldn't help but carry on jinxing the team after he chopped off the Kenyan runner, rather than sit in behind (then he wouldn't have died on the home straight). Ashton's last leg approx: 44.5.

How was that considered worthy of disqualification?? There's only a certain amount of room on the track .. and there's a difference between a confluence of legs, and something more purposeful...
