Kim Collins was a popular albeit narrow winner from the inside lane. It was the closest finish yet to a major 100m, with just 11 thousandths covering the first three. Yet the three US Edmonton medallists were not factors. Maurice Greene placed eighth in his semi, injured, while Montgomery and Williams placed fourth and fifth in the final. Silver medallist Brown had broken the world junior record in the third heat of the second round, but that stage of the contest was overshadowed by the antics of Jon Drummond.
At the 2001 IAAF Congress, a rule change was approved which meant that any athlete causing a second false start would be automatically disqualified. The new rule was applied from January 1, 2003 with the desired effect of generally reducing the number of false starts. Paris was the first World Championships with the new ruling, and it was followed smoothly in the first round. One by one, three men were disqualified and each was escorted from the track to sympathetic applause.
In the second of the quarter-finals, there was an initial false start by Dwight Thomas of Jamaica. A yellow card was then shown to all eight starters as a warning that a further false start would result in disqualification. The recall gun went off again and this time a red card was shown to both Drummond (reaction 0.052 compared with the allowable threshold of 0.1) and Asafa Powell (0.086). Replays did appear to show that Drummond’s foot twitched in the blocks, but he did not accept his fate. While Powell waited in hope behind the start, the 34 year-old American – a relay gold medallist in 1993 and 1999 – remonstrated with judges, strirred up the crowd and lay down on the track. Even when he did leave the arena, it proved impossible to start the race because of crowd noise in reaction to the affair. The heat was eventually staged after the third and fourth quarter-finals, around 55 minutes late. Later, Drummond was disqualified from the entire championships “for behaviour likely to bring the sport into disrepute”.
There was a further unwanted footnote. Dwain Chambers – the Seville bronze medallist – was disqualified in retrospect after it was found that he had committed a doping violation on August 1. He had originally been part of the blanket finish, placing fourth, just three thousandths behind Campbell. Two years later, Tim Mongomery’s disqualification was also confirmed (see report of the 2001 100m). He had originally placed fifth.
