Lonah Chemtai Salpeter was disqualified for cutting to early to the inside lane in the beginning of the race. She was disqualified after the race. Do judges after the race watch the start again to see these things, or do they watch it only if someone from another team rats on complains, like that lousy French steeplechaser runner used to do?
DQs always occur after the race. Umpires (the officials that observe the track races and look for potential rules violations) do not have the power to DQ anyone. They write up a report on the incident and give it to the Track Referee. He/she then decides if a DQ is warranted. After that, inevitably the athlete will appeal (I think he has 30 minutes to submit it) and it will go to the Jury of Appeals for a final verdict. It is not uncommon for a final DQ decision to be made an hour after the incident occurred.

It could be a number of different people, officials, opposing coaches, etc that could have noticed the violation and reported it.
I’m a D2 female runner. Our coach explicitly told us not to visit LetsRun forums.
