Swimming: US kick up stink over British gold

Cristina Teuscher has vehemently protested her innocence after her 'mistake' led to the US team's disqualification from the 800metres relay and resulted in Great Britain claiming the gold.

Racing at number two in the US relay team, Teuscher was accused by FINA referees of leaving the blocks a fraction too soon, before her team-mate had hit the touchpad on the wall.
