SAINT-DENIS, France (AP) — The U.S. men extended their drought to 20 years without a medal in the Olympic 4×100 relay.

Team USA was disqualified for an illegal pass after Christian Coleman crashed into teammate Kenny Bednarek while making the exchange between the first and second legs.

Coleman first ran into, then passed, Bednarek as they made their awkward exchange.

Noah Lyles, who won the gold medal in the men’s 100m final, was out of the relay final due to having COVID.

Andre De Grasse anchored Canada to gold in a time of 37.50 seconds. It was the first medal in Paris for De Grasse, but his seventh overall.

South Africa finished second and Britain third.

The only time the U.S. has captured a medal in the men’s 4x100m relay over the last two decades was in 2012, but that got stripped for a doping violation.
