TORONTO - The Canadian men's 4x100-metre relay team has been disqualified at the Pan American Games, denying sprinter Andre De Grasse a third gold medal.
Gavin Smellie, De Grasse, Brendon Rodney and Aaron Brown appeared to have won the gold medal when they crossed the finish line in a Pan Am Games record time of 38.06 seconds.
But a protest filed by the United States and Trinidad and Tobago over Smellie stepping on the line during the first leg of the race was upheld.
It was the second protest filed after the race.
An earlier American protest saying Rodney stepped out of his lane was denied.
The U.S. moves from silver to gold, with Brazil taking second and Trinidad and Tobago moving up to third.
