Ohuruogu disqualified from Worlds
By Tom Fordyce Chief Sports Writer in Daegu, South Korea Ohuruogu won the Olympic 400m in 2008 Christine Ohuruogu is out of the World Athletics Championships <a href="http://www.uggscheapforsale.com/"><strong>NHL New York Rangers</strong></a> after she was disqualified from the 400m heats. The 2007 world champion has been struggling with injury problems this season and made a false start. False starts are extremely rare in the 400m, but Ohuruogu came out of her blocks before any of her rivals. Ohuruogu told Channel 4: "I knew it was me straight away. I can't believe it. I just wanted to get a good start as I knew it was going to be a fast round." Ohuruogu had been in poor form all summer after a long spell out with a quadriceps injury and had <a href="http://www.uggscheapforsale.com/"><strong>Adidas Spike Shoes</strong></a> finished last in her previous race in the Diamond League in Crystal Palace. But having banked on coming into form late in the day, just as she had in taking the world title in Osaka four years ago, her quest to regain her crown is over before it has truly begun. "What do you want me to say? I false-started," she told the BBC afterwards in a brief exchange. "People can see for themselves." Under the new false-start regulations brought in by the IAAF at the start of 2010, she was allowed no warning nor second chance and was shown a red card by the <a href="http://www.uggscheapforsale.com/"><strong>Buffalo Bills</strong></a> officials before being ushered off the track in a state of shock. As the heat was run she remained motionless for several minutes, clearly distressed, before walking slowly out of the stadium. More to follow.
