Subsequently, bronze medal winner Natasha Mayers will get silver and fourth placed Endacott Katherine will win bronze. <br /><br />The chaos began when England's Laura Turner was disqualified for a false start but England officials felt that Pearson had also false started and lodged a protest. "The protest has been upheld and Sally has been disqualified," Pearson's coach Sharon Hannon said.<br /><br />According to an IAAF official, a protest can only be lodged 30 minutes after the results appear on the screen. England followed the IAAF protocol and their protest stands legitimate. <br /><br />However, the official also informed that Australia could go to the court of arbitration. But that will be a lengthy process.u00a0
