Looking into it further, the rule he broke is actually flimsy.

The reason there's uproar about it is the "Subject to discretion" part. He, objectively, did not interfere with another swimmer. It doesn't say anything about crossing lanes, it specifically says "interfere with another swimmer." The referee chose to disqualify him based on their "discretion" of an extremely flimsy rule.

Basically, the ruling is highly suspect.

Maybe diving into the other lane could have distracted the other swimmers or created turbulence in the water that would affect their final time?

idk
