Automatic sensor or no, it's a desperate attempt at a do-over. It's pretty universal that any call, or lack thereof, on the part of the officials stands. Even if, after the fact, there is demonstrable evidence that the call was in error, it stands. The event is not re-played. Even if a competitor was found to have been doping, the event is not replayed, They are simply stripped of their standing and the rest below them move up a position. If she wants to argue that she should have been disqualified, she can do that, and they can strip her of her result, bu there'll be no re-race.
