You can't give Allen a FS for a .099 reaction time.

0.10 is an arbitrary standard.

There's no science behind 0.10 being fine and 0.099 being impossible.

It's BS. He should be allowed to run.

Don't believe me?

Lots of research here. It's a BS rule. You literally can't distinguish that 0.099 is impossible to react but 0.10 is possible.

It's completely arbitrary.

Here's one study: minds.wisconsin.edu/bitstream/hand…

And...this is why our sport sucks.

We ruined a huge moment for the USA on home turf for the first time ever, with an athlete who is going to the NFL... all over a completely arbitrary rule based on a thousandth of a second.

Track shoots itself in its foot over and over again.
