I have zero insight into any of this, but I will share one experience of the side effects, so to speak, of all the USA DQs in the 4x100. A few days ago, as the OG was getting underway, NBC Sports was showing a documentary on Jesse Owens and the 36 OG. The program of course included archival footage of the competitions, and as I was watching the 4x100, I actually thought to myself, "I hope they don't drop the baton." Just a natural reaction to watching USA runners try to get the baton around the track, even if they already got there 80 years ago.
