While the Usain Bolt led Jamaican relay team basked in the glory of another Olympic gold medal, team USA was disqualified from the race due to a baton pass error between the first and second runner.
After reviewing the race, officials ruled that Mike Rodgers passed the baton to Justin Gatlin outside of the exchange zone thus resulting in the DQ. The same infraction that occurred in the 2008 Olympics.
With no one being safe from the wrath of social media, twitter users had plenty to say about the USA men’s relay team’s outcome. To see reactions, flip the pages.
