Probably a stuck up woke NCAA official, how dare a white male innocently celebrate his record and achievement.

Nonsense ruling!

There was no 'interference' as the race was over and the swimmer in that lane was done.

So he left his lane before the last person finished? Though the person in the lane he went to was finished. Kind of rough, like signing an incorrect card in golf. Picayune, but thems the rules.

He definitely deserves disqualification because of his white privilege!

He crossed lanes, but the race was already over. Kinda dumb.

Wow. I don’t follow this sport at all, but this is asinine.

He was disqualified for THAT?

I was very impressed with his teammate.

A real man.

The real winner may not have the medal officially, but he does have respect and a real friend, and sounds like he will end up with the physical medal too.

I would like to see the person who invoked and approved this penalty.

I have one word for him... “LAWYER”.

The heat isn’t over until all swimmers finish the race. The referee(s) weren’t incorrect.
But they WERE wrong.

Yeah, I’m guessing he won’t do that again.

Neither of those rules actually applies. The first is not even close.
