Usain Bolt stormed to his third gold medal of the World Championships on a night when poor changeovers extinguished the 4x100 metres medal hopes of the United States and Great Britain.
Bolt rode to triumphs in the 100m and 200m, doing so again in the relay by anchoring the Jamaican team of Nesta Carter, Asafa Powell and Nickel Ashmeade to victory in a world-leading 37.36 seconds.
Two-times drug cheat Justin Gatlin again looked like he would have to settle for silver, but that was stripped from the USA just minutes after the race.
A sloppy baton change between Tyson Gay and Mike Rodgers - sprinters who, like Gatlin, have served doping bans - saw them disqualified in a race the British team did not even finish.
