Perkins faces disciplinary action
Meanwhile Australian cyclist Shane Perkins faces disciplinary action for a rude gesture at officials - Australia's second run-in with Commonwealth
Games sporting officialdom in the space of 24 hours.
Perkins angrily flipped his hand twice to officials after losing his chance to race for a gold medal in the men's keirin at the Indira Gandhi Sports Complex yesterday.
After winning his semi-final to qualify for the final, Perkins was relegated for what officials called "dangerous riding" - the Australian blamed in part for two cyclists falling in the race. Australian sprint coach Gary West says Perkins would face in-house discipline for losing his cool.
