These are the official results of the men's 10,000 metres event at the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona, Spain.

[1] Khalid Skah from Morocco dueled with Richard Chelimo from Kenya during much of the race.

Boutayeb kept running in front of Chelimo and slowing down, causing him to miss his stride.

[3] The race jury temporarily disqualified Skah for receiving assistance from Boutayeb.

Since Rule 143.2 did not give any penalty for its violation, the Jury of Appeal reinstated Skah[3][2] With one lap to go, a meet referee actually pushed Boutayeb, trying to tell him to get out of the way.
