Here is a good video of the race
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTUadSnzqYkGo to 5:50 in. Simpson is running with her normal stride. At 5:56, when Rowbury is about to pass her, Simpson's left arm goes much wider than her normal stride. Simpson's arm clearly causes the contact.
Not sure if it is a DQ worthy offense, but for those of you who are saying Rowbury caused the fall, you are flat out blind

Simpson clearly caused the contact. You can't cause contact from the front - yes - but you can from the side, which is where Jenny was in relation to Rowbury at 5:56 in the video. Her left arm goes out - why? To impede Rowbury.
Watch this video, both from the front and the side. From the front is shown that Simpson puts her arm out as soon as she sees Rowbury is beside her, and keeps her arm there for three strides. From the side is shown that Rowbury is flying past Simpson, but her forward motion is stopped immediately when she is impeded by Simpson. You can see the three jolts to Rowbury as Simpson impedes her with her arm. The third one caused Rowbury to fall down.
