At the start of the race, Allen was disqualified for a false start by 1/1000th of a second and was unable to participate in the race -- denying him an opportunity at a medal.

A computer determined Allen had a false start in the event, which caused Allen to plead his case.

His reaction time was 1/1000th of a second faster than the threshold, which was heartbreaking for Allen.
