It will happen from time to time. As much as I can imagine the normal start time of an athlete should be always in the same range of maybe 0.05 seconds. Let's say for this athelete it was to expect to get a time of 4.45-4.49 as start time if nothing unusual happens. that means that after 4 starts, the chance to have 4x the same time is like 1:125.
there were how many starters? 25? that means with 25 starters this should happen in every fifth race to one athlete.
whoever told you that it has to be faked just because of the similar times should come with something better.
