Scottish ultra-marathon runner Joasia Zakrzewski was disqualified from her most recent race after she used a car during part of the marathon route before accepting the trophy for third place.
A Scottish ultra-marathon runner was disqualified from a race after she used a car during part of the marathon route before taking home the trophy for third place.
“When I got to the checkpoint I told them I was pulling out and that I had been in the car, and they said ‘You will hate yourself if you stop,'” Zakrzewski said. “I made a massive error in accepting the trophy and should have handed it back,” Zakrzewski said. “I was tired and jetlagged and felt sick.”
“After the event, there was no attempt by Joasia to make us aware of what had happened and to give us an opportunity to correct the results or return the third-place trophy during the course of the subsequent seven days,” Drinkwater said.
