Story I’ve heard on a British board is that  Sam Atkin was only in the race as a pacemaker for 5000m, but once he’d done his job he didn’t step off, slotted into the pack and got round in a QT!  Also in the UK all-time top 10.

He also ran the 5000m at the same meeting the day before

Nice idea with this website but unfortunately it's not updated correctly. Maybe they will improve it.

Björn Koreman might still try if there's a chance to have an official race somewhere, he would try this weekend in Poland but that got cancelled.

He ran and won in Vienna today and finished in what was basically a solo 2:11.07, which is both awesome (he was a chain smoker who picked up running 8 years ago and this was only his second marathon) and sad (Futselaar is out already now).

How did they prove it? Some track distance whistleblower?

I don't know yet, I was told about it by someone who writes for the European Athletics website
