How does this one stack up against the one where a South Pasadena pole vaulter was disqualified for wearing a friendship bracelet? Why does this seem to happen in track and field all the time? Check this out from the L.A. Times:

There have been close to 4,000 comments made on a Yahoo.com story about the decision to disqualify Los Angeles Loyola pole vaulter Evan Barr last weekend at the state track and field championships when he uttered a profanity at the conclusion of a jump. That DQ cost the Cubs a state title.
