Daily News | Devon Allen disqualified from 110 meter hurdles by .001 of a second in false start
In a crushing blow during what would have been his last 110m hurdles race before starting his professional football career, Eagles wide receiver Devon Allen was disqualified for a false start Sunday.
According to the sensitive timers of the starting blocks, Allen didn’t actually begin the world championships final before the starting pistol shot, but rather, he reacted too quickly. He was not allowed to run the race under protest. The former University of Oregon track standout and football player was participating on his home turf of Eugene, Ore., hoping to win gold ahead of joining the Eagles in training camp next week.
“It’s a little frustrating,” Allen told reporters, reflecting on how close he was to nothing being wrong with the start of what could have been an excellent run. “There are a lot of variables in a race.In reference to the rule, he said, “It’s so absolute; it kind of sucks.”
