Sprinter Raelene Boyle was disqualified for allegedly breaking twice during the semis of the 200 at the Montreal Olympics, and who can forget swimmer Ian Thorpe falling in at the Olympic trials in 2004.  It probably cost Boyle a gold medal -- she was favourite -- but Thorpe was reprieved by having his spot in the 400m handed back and went on to win in Athens."
