The commentator kept referring to Devon Allen possibly running under protest, but it seemed like he was forced out. When can one run under protest if that’s a thing?

It used to be a thing. I don't think it is a thing anymore, or at least cannot be due to false start.
Anyone see the smoking hot Norwegian 400m hurdler talk her way out of a DQ in Tokyo last summer?
super weird
This sport is strange sometimes. Have to feel for Allen

Can no longer run under protest. This DQ was a bad and wrong call.
Here is the rule
In a Track event,
8.4.1 if an athlete makes an immediate oral protest
against having been charged with a false start, a
Track Referee may, if they are in any doubt, allow
the athlete to compete “under protest” in order to
preserve the rights of all concerned. Competing
“under protest” shall not be allowed if the false start
was indicated by a World Athletics certified start
Information system, unless for any reason the
Referee determines that the information provided
by the system is obviously inaccurate.
This is from the World Athletics competition and technical rules.
