Grassmarket 2,746 Posted April 18, 2023 #58 Share Posted April 18, 2023 Well, this is an odd one. A top Scottish ultra-marathon runner has been disqualified from a race for using a car during part of the route. Joasia Zakrzewski finished third in the 2023 GB Ultras Manchester to Liverpool 50-mile race - but is thought to have travelled by car for 2.5 miles. The 47-year-old GP, from Dumfries, is understood to have been tracked on GPX mapping data covering a mile of the race in just one minute 40 seconds. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-65314241https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-65314241 hckošice, Biathlonfan and Josh 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vektor 3,195 Posted April 19, 2023 #60 Share Posted April 19, 2023 (edited) And the news dropped that we were "waiting for"... The big name Hungarian swimmer under doping suspicion is...
