International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) says that the one false start ruling is to stay for at least another year, despite pressure from some quarters to make it even more stiffer if you ‘jump the gun’.

Oh yes people, there has been proposal to make it even tougher for those who are too ‘eager’ at the starting blocks, which is immediate disqualification.

IAAF are looking into the proposal and the earliest date for any ruling change or discussion is August next year at the IAAF World Championships to be held in Berlin, Germany.
