No clue if we have a track thread, but since this also involves an NFL player I’ll throw it here.
Devon Allen of the Eagles was in the finals of the 110m hurdles. He was disqualified for leaving the blocks early. Not before the gun, but at .099 seconds after it. In track, to assume you aren’t anticipating the gun, you can’t “react” quicker than .1 seconds after the gun. That rule is in place despite World Athletics doing their own study that found people can react in .085, but they kept the .1 rule.
