Why is it marked a foul in the javelin throw when the athlete crosses the line?

The line is similar to 'foul' lines one might see when watching Bowling or curling or the boxes where the discus and shot put are thrown. This line marks the beginning point to measure the distance of the throw. It is a rule designed to keep the participant from gaining an advantage.
