Re: t-and-f: Drummond DQ

[Wayne T. Armbrust]

It's hard to believe that a person could be "drawn out" by another 
person and still have a reaction time only 0.034 sec. more than the 
person supposedly doing the "drawing."  This would mean that a person 
could react to a stimulus in approximately 1/3 the accepted minimum 
reaction time of 0.100 sec.

By the way, the IAAF electronically recorded reaction
times show that Drummond went BEFORE Powell, not the
other way around.
Drummond (USA) with 0.052 sec and Assafa Powell (JAM) 0.086.
The accepted reaction time is 0.100 sec.
Not that the rule makes any distinction anyway-
they were both DQ'd.
But even if the rule WERE worded such that the 'first
to go is the only one DQ'd' it would appear to have
been Drummond who have been given the heave-ho, not Powell!
Okay Jon, back in your court.
Were the starting blocks sending bad signals too?
