Surin avoids disqualification Sprinter appeared to false-start twice >From today's Ottawa Citizen: Bruny Surin, a world and Olympic medallist, appeared to false-start twice in the quarter-final round, but track officials waved it off without explanation. ... Ottawa's Glenroy Gilbert, who ran beside Surin in Lane 5, was furious immediately after stepping off the track. "Why not ask the officials?" said Gilbert, when quizzed about the disputed second false start against Surin. "They know what happened, and I'm sure you do, too." ... Cameroon runner Alfred Moussambini, who started in Lane 8, said Surin was saved by the fact the international competition was held in Canada. "They (track officials) say there was no false start," Moussambini explained. "There was no charge because, I think, I'm sure, we're in Canada. "I'm sure if it was another guy, it would be immediate (disqualification). But we're in Canada."
