our sports correspondent natalie pirks has the details.niekerk should've been a triumphant moment. but as he crossed the line it was clear something was missing. in lane seven, an empty space where major rival isaac makwala from botswana should have been. this morning in his hotel room, issac makwala was still visibly upset and told me explicitly that he feels something is not right. if this thing had been for mo farah like now, i do not think the british would allow it. they would not allow it. they know mo farah is the one who could get medals for them. or anyone, even usain bolt. or anyone, even usain bolt. the facts of the makwala case are very confused. he was pulled out of the 200 metres heats on monday after vomiting on the bus on the way to the stadium. last night though the governing body said there was a strict 48—hour quarantine in place and the iaaf medical chiefs confirmed a doctor said makwala was suffering from the same virulent norovirus that has swept through one of the athletes‘ hotel. we had taken him, examined him, his
