Reply to comment by SatansMoisture in TIL Devon Allen, track & field athlete/Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver, was disqualified in the World Athletic Championships for a controversial false start. The starting blocks measured his reaction time from the time the gun went off at 0.099, which is 0.001 seconds faster than legally allowed. by The_Critical_Cynic

>So did he anticipate the gun sound

Yes. Humans ability to physicaly react maxes out around .2 seconds. Maybe exceptional people under ideal conditions can go a bit bellow that but 0.1? No.
