ALGERIAN middle-distance runner Taoufik Makhloufi was reinstated for the 1,500-meter final after being disqualified from the London Olympics for allegedly not trying hard enough in the 800-meter heats on Monday.
The race referee ruled that the 24-year-old African champion in the 800 was guilty of "failure to compete honestly with bona fide effort" but the Algerian federation insisted he had a knee problem and that organizers knew about it. After assessing evidence, the disqualification was revoked yesterday.
