At the performance level where the reaction time is given the most scrutiny, the athletes are the outliers in many respects even without considering a (hypothetical) reflex arc. In testing for this sort of thing I'd want to test the individuals involved i.e. those who were though to have reacted too quickly, not just the typical athlete. The first thing I'd look for is the leg sensing the sound of the starter's pistol.
