Reply to comment by ARoundForEveryone in TIL Devon Allen, track & field athlete/Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver, was disqualified in the World Athletic Championships for a controversial false start. The starting blocks measured his reaction time from the time the gun went off at 0.099, which is 0.001 seconds faster than legally allowed. by The_Critical_Cynic

I've mentioned it elsewhere, but it would seem easier to have an appeals process, and to have the standards assessed. Like you said, there are so many variables that this hardly seems like something to complain about.
