George Mills became involved in a heated altercation with France’s Hugo Hay after a collision in his 5,000m heat but the British athlete was reinstated with three other fallers.
Hay remained on his feet after multiple runners, including Mills, tumbled down the home straight on the final lap and the Frenchman was able to qualify for the final on Saturday. But after the men had crossed the finish line, Mills and Hay were seen arguing and making physical contact, Mills pointing furiously at Hay.
