I think is the phrase,
as an alleged 11,000 found out when they were accused of not completing last month’s Mexico City Marathon, they have been
disqualified by organizers for cheating by cutting out sections of the
26.2-mile course, so of the 30,000 runners basically more than 1 in 3 allegedly cheated! “The Mexico City Sports Institute informs that it will
proceed to identify those cases in which participants of the XL Mexico City
Marathon Telcel 2023 have demonstrated an unsportsmanlike attitude during the
event and will invalidate their registration times,” marathon organizers told
Spanish newspaper Marca, I guess they must have heard of Joasia Zakrzewski or KellyAgnew, well it did not work for them either!
Some of the disqualified runners disputed the accusations,
claiming that the trackers had been faulty, but so far the organizers of the
Mexico City Marathon, one of the most important running events in North
America, have maintained their decision, as it happens this is not the first time
cheating has happened in this race, in 2017 a total of 6,000 runners were
stripped of their finishing medals after it was discovered that they had not
completed the entire race, and the following year another 3,000 participants
were disqualified, all of that work, just to throw it all away!
