I was DQ'd because of my race.

Athlete Dayron Robles. Said that he wouldn't have been disqualified from the 110-meter hurdles at the world championships if he came from a better country. The judges said that he was holding back Chinese runner Liu Xiang.

Actually i just watched the video of this race and It looked like he threw his arms and touched him. After the race he had his hands covering his face and It looked like he appoligized to the guy. I'm guessing he didn't do it on purpose, but he really knew it was wrong what he did.

Not fair! I wasn't like he was holding him back, he just barely touched him. What is wrong with the judges?

I have to admit it does look like is holding the guy back, but what does that have to do with his race. I am sure many white guys have done that too. But then again i guess it would be easier if you saw the whole race not just a picture from it.

I cant believe he was dq because of his race! that is truely mean. but then again in the picture he does look like he is holding back, but it could of just been him swinging his hand back and mistakenly hitting him.
