Algeria's 1500M runner booted out of Olympics for 'not trying' in another race. He was a favorite to win too

That's absolutely bs. I mean he should have not run in it if he wasn't going to compete, but considering that the 800m semi finals are on the same night as the 1500m final, there's very little chance someone can double up successfully.
