Robles flushes gold down Liu

CUBAN Dayron Robles became another high-profile disqualification at the World Championships as he was stripped of his 110m hurdles gold medal.

Robles made contact with China’s Liu Xiang and was disqualified after the Chinese appealed, handing Jason Richardson the gold and Liu the silver.

An appeal from the Cuban team was rejected and Britain’s Andy Turner was awarded the bronze medal.
