One of my athletes was running a track 10,000 and spent the last several laps running with another competitor. My guy's legs were twisted (congenital) so he ran a little funny. The other runner was cursing him, calling him "f****t," etc.
My kid dusted him in the last 200, crossed the finish line, and turned around with his fists up, ready to pummel the bastard. The finish line officials DQed my runner as soon as he raised his hands, before the other guy was even across the line.

similar thing happened more recently in the 3200m to jake edwards. he jumped the gun in a race that he could have spotted the field 200m minimum and won. instead he jumped the gun, cost his team ten points, and my team won the league championship by only a couple points. that's gotta burn.
That was about 3 years ago now. I was there.... it was really disappointing that happened, everyone really wanted him to run and race. His teammate stepped up and won that day, but those couple points made a difference.
Theres some idiot at the California JUCO cross meet every year at the finish line that dq's someone for no reason. I say a guy get dq'd about 4 years ago for raising his arms above his head so he could breath right after he finished.

I actually don't know you, I just like hearing from you. I'm the guy who looked up the principle who got you in trouble for irritating that kid.
Anyway, would you care to share your DQ story?
I just realized the OP asked what *I* could get DQed in a race for.
I could get a DQ for not straightening my leg under me in the support phase, or for having both feet visibly off the ground at the same time.
I probably should have been DQed several times, but was never a threat to win or medal, so I think I got a pity pass.
