Alexandre Caron is kicked out

CrossFit was kicking me out of the competition based on "what they saw yesterday". I was told that my "effort" during the muscle up event was not good enough for a semi-finalist athlete and that I clearly had an advantage over my competitors for the rest of the weekend by not doing any reps in that WOD (and getting 59th place ).

I asked them if they were going to withdraw all the other athletes who scored 0 in Test 2 because they "clearly also had an advantage." The response was, "We won't have this discussion with you, but the decision is final."

Yeah, I tore my pec a little bit practicing the muscle up complex with the backpack on Monday. I tried all the other movements and was fine. I asked CrossFit if there was going to be any minimum work requirements and finally made the decision to make the trip and give myself a chance to qualify for the Games despite having a TEST 2 score of 0.
