Why make note if it not a DQ? Why is it brought up if it is legal?
Personally, I think it's an excellent professional courtesy by the officials to any athlete running in a qualifying round.
The officials are basically all superfans and definitely don't want to see any athletes being DQd. This is great feedback in terms of something to be conscious of for the athlete, whereas if nothing was said I think the odds of it becoming an infraction in the next race are slightly higher.

Read the link in post #5. It is no longer illegal to step on the line ONCE. A second step on the line, whether it is in the same race or not, will result in a DQ. The Yellow "L" indicates she received a Yellow Card Warning for stepping on the line (annotated in the results). If she steps on it again in the 200m final, a DQ will result.
"but shall result in disqualification if they are repeated by the same athlete or within the same relay team at any time during the rounds of the same event."
The new Sha'Carri is great for the sport, the old Sha'Carri wasnt great for herself or the sport. She has matured and is saying and doing what needs to be done to promote her brand, the sport and everything else, give her credit, not all peeps mature.

Why would you need a poster to let you know what the rule is? You're supposed to be letting your audience know what the rules are and not the other way around.

thank you for pointing this out
how long has this been a rule? haven't given it much thought, but seems a little strange.
if it's giving someone a material advantage, why would they be allowed to do it once at all? if it's not giving someone a material advantage, why would they be DQd the second time it happened?
