I have carefully analysed the pre-Olympic performances of Liddell, who won in 1924, and J. W. Rinkel, who we hope is going to win this year. Liddell had nothing on Rinkel in preliminaries. (‘The Observer’, OED) — Я тщательно проанализировал предолимпийские выступления Лидделла, победителя олимпиады 1924 года, и Дж. В. Ринкеля, который, как мы надеемся, победит в этом году. У Лидделла в предолимпийских выступлениях не было никакого преимущества перед Ринкелем.

2) амер. не иметь доказательств чьей-л. вины (о полиции)
