A Greek athlete has been disqualified from the Pole Valut for failing a doping test. That's the first failed dope test I've heard about from these games.
And I think there was another one?

First heat in the men's 5000m ended up carnage on the final lap after a relatively slower paced race left the whole bunch together. Five falls.
And a French and a Briton almost at fisticuffs at the end of it. But neither of those two seemed to have been caught up in the two falls?

Missed them.
Only saw one replay, but my eye was drawn to the Spaniard cutting in front of the guy in black and white. Thought that caused it. Maybe the Spaniard was trying to avoid french/British. -

Yep, couldn't work that one out, but those two looked pretty unhappy with each other.
