‘Blow it up’: Carl Lewis calls on US to change relay system after Paris debacle

• US men's team disqualified in 4x100m Olympic final
• Men's team have not won a medal since Sydney 2000

The nine-time Olympic champion Carl Lewis has called on USA Track and Field to blow up the system" after another Olympic debacle for the men's 4x100m relay team.

The US men extended their relay drought to 20 years without a medal in the relay on Friday in Paris, after they were disqualified for an illegal pass. Christian Coleman crashed into teammate Kenny Bednarek while making the baton exchange between the first and second legs, disrupting the timing of the pass and forcing the exchange outside the legal zone.
