Davies said IAAF rules Davies said IAAF experts was suspended for two years inspire him.” the sport’s governing body Wednesday to take away PAID POLITICAL ADVERTISEMENT Gatlin’s announced record of 9.76 seconds. The International Association of Athletics Federations said his time was recorded at 9.766, and should have been manual- ly rounded up to 9.77. Gatlin’s time has now been adjusted to 9.77 and, pending ratification, will equal the record set by Powell in Athens, Greece, on June 14, 2005. An obviously perturbed Gatlin issued a statement through USA Track & Field. “It is very disappointing to me that it has taken five days to determine the official time of a race with this signifi- cance,” he said. “I remain confident that I am the world’s fastest man and I look forward to proving it once again. My parents raised me to be a good sport, but I don’t want to share the world record.” The IAAF said it acted after being informed of the error by Tissot Timing. “The IAAF rounding rule, to be initiated manually on the timing system, had not been activated as instructed,” Tissot said in a statement from its Swiss headquarters. “Tissot Timing regrets the occurrence and apologizes for this unique incident.” The IAAF uses times recorded to one-hundredth of a second, with figures always rounded up. “We’re very disappointed for Justin but we think he’s got all the talent to get the record again soon,” IAAF spokesman Nick Davies said. “It’s better to have an honest result.” Davies said it’s believed to be the first time a world record has been taken away days later because of a timing adjustment. Gatlin’s agent, Renaldo Nehemiah, said, “It’s an embarrassment to our sport that something of this magni- tude could be blown like that. “Justin’s a trouper, he’s a sportsman,” Nehemiah said.

After you have solved the "Order Grid" doing as direction "A" says, put the let- ters from horizontal rows, from left to right, under "Decoded Message" and make words to form the answer.
