Gloating at the finish line garners even more scorn from officials than "magically" bumping a Salazar-coached runner from afar during an indoor championship race! Or so it seems.
But French steepler Mahiedine Mekhissi-Benabbad has a history of finish line antics including slugging a competitor and shoving a 12 year-old girl in a mascot costume. So when he took his shirt off down the homestretch, official showed him a yellow card. Then it turned into a red card and he was disqualified as the winner of the European Steeplechase title. They had a track meet and then a soccer match broke out!
