Mozambique Sprinter Disqualified from Olympics Due to False Start

Steven Sabino's Olympic debut cut short after a controversial false start in the men's 100m heat.

Steven Sabino, 18, was disqualified in the 100m preliminaries at the Paris Olympics.
Sabino claimed he reacted to a noise he thought was the starting gun.
Officials did not allow him to run under protest despite his pleas.
The strict false start rule has been criticized for ending athletes' dreams prematurely.
Sabino had qualified for the Olympics with a wildcard and had set a national record in March.
