USA Track & Fields appeal of the mens 4x100-meter relay teams disqualification in Fridays final has been denied, the IAAF said Saturday.?The U.S. finished the race third but was disqualified because leadoff runner Mike Rodgers was ruled to have passed the baton to Justin Gatlin outside the first exchange zone of the relayThe race was won by Usain Bolt and Jamaica.The disqualification elevated Canada to the bronze, which it will keep. Japan won the silver.Video replays showed a clean handoff from Rodgers to Gatlin but were less clear about whether Gatlin had taken possession of the stick before Rodgers got it inside the start of the 20-meter passing zone.Rule 170.07 in the track and field handbook reads: The baton shall be passed within the takeover zone. The passing of the baton commences when it is first touched by the receiving athlete and is completed the moment it is in the hand of only the receiving athlete. In relation to the takeover zone, it is only the position of the baton which is decisive. Passing of the baton outside the takeover zone shall result in disqualification.It was the twilight zone. It was a nightmare, said Gatlin, who along with his teammates found out about the disqualification while parading the U.S. flag around the track.

Almost three months after suffering an ankle injury first seen as a three-week layoff, Marc Murphys plans to return to the AFL this year have been shelved.In keeping with their safety-first approach to treating the syndesmosis injury, Carlton coach Brendon Bolton says the club hasnt seen enough progress to allow their skipper to return for Sundays round 22 match with Melbourne.Given that leaves just one match in the Blues season, Bolton said on Friday it was probably the end for the 29-year-olds year.Its been really frustrating for Murph and us. Its been one of those injuries that just niggled and stayed around, Bolton said.Weve approached it in a really professional manner and ticked every box ... weve looked after Murph and never pushed him to a position where he was going to re-injure.There was no setback. It was just slow in getting it right.We tested him this week and hes still just not quite right.Thats probably his season now.The high ankle sprain is notoriously hard to diagnose and treat.Other AFL players - including Travis Cloke, Dale Thomas and James Kelly - have suffered multi-week layoffs with similarr injuries in past years.dddddddddddd.The upside is Murphy can enter pre-season without any late season wear and tear, having played only the opening 10 rounds of 2016.Hell be able to steady for the next month and then hit pre-season full on, Bolton said.Murph will be a real recruit for us next year.Bolton wasnt in the mood to talk about other recruits on Friday morning, as the club continues to be linked with moves for mature-age players including Ty Vickery.The Tasmanian coach said he would never talk about specific players.Its our duty to draft well this year and its also important were open-minded to trading, he said.Were interested in building our young depth primarily through drafting because we want to be a sustainably strong club.These days its always a combination of that and trading.He confirmed he wanted out-of-contract forward Levi Casboult to remain with the Blues in 2017.I want Levi at our club. He gives us a really strong target up forward. Hes important to us, he said. ' ' '
