Stewards questioned junior driver G Goodman, assisted by N Williamson, regarding her decision to shift inwards approaching the 400m resulting in her runner being held up for a considerable distance. After hearing from Miss Goodman and Mr Williamson, Stewards issued a charge under Rule 868(2), which Miss Goodman defended, alleging she failed to take all reasonable and permissible measures to ensure her runner finished in the best possible position. After viewing replays and hearing evidence from all parties the Adjudicative Committee dismissed the charge.
