You should have issued and recorded the warning and unless this was the second warning, that would be about all there is too it. No DQ .
That business about the Games Committe defining the area of competition can be tricky when they fail to put it in writing, but considering the athlete is on the track or about to enter the track for purposes of running, there should be no question that this is "an area of competition".
About everyone I've talked to about this feels that the GC really just extends the competition areas, such as making the entire area within the confines of the track i.e. the infield as the place where the removal of the uniform is prohibited. So, if my high jumper walks 20 meters away from the approach area, he/she can not just stetch out for a little sun tanning without the complete uniform on.
