It looked like Justin Robinson had just become a national champion, winning the 400-meter race.
After a video review, though, Robinson was shown to have stepped on the line between lanes three times. This was ruled a lane violation, and according to World Athletics Technical Rule 17, it resulted in an automatic disqualification at the USA track and field championships on Satuday in New York.
With Robinson’s 44.31-second time disqualified, Chris Bailey ended up the winner of the race, finishing in 44.39 seconds.
