Not only in the battle with Nakano, but also in the Keirin final, Singleton showed some rough play by grabbing Clark's uniform. The UCI ruled that Singleton's behavior was so unsportsmanlike that they later suspended him indefinitely, allowing him to compete in non-UCI-sanctioned events, but permanently disqualifying him from the World Championships. Singleton retired the following year.

I was 15 and living in Leicester at the time. I was there and remember it like it was yesterday. I can't believe YT popped this up in my recommended.
It's a miracle that blind people can be commentators too.
シングルトンのコースどりが、フェアでないように思う。
Singleton tumble by himself and interfere Nakano.
Commentator doesn't know the rules of the game.
Traditional Keirin is a contact sport with body armor, but this is suppose to be a gentleman's event. What a bloody mess this race was.
Nakano was already half a bike length ahead and facing the goal. I don't know how he could have benefited from knocking his opponent down
Singleton got cheated. What a shameful race by Nakano. [Edit..saw different video of race...Singleton at fault both falls...So Karma]
