African Athletes Under Investigation For Allegedly Throwing A Race For A Chinese by TunezTV: 7:57am On Apr 16 |
Organizers of the Beijing half marathon are investigating claims that three African athletes allowed China’s star runner, He Jie, to win the race. Footage appeared to show the athletes pointing to the line and slowing down before waving past He. He, 25, who has broken China’s marathon record twice in the past two years, crossed the finish line in 1:03:44 to claim the $5,500 first prize, with the African trio just one second behind in joint-second place. He told reporters after the race that he “was not in my best competitive state” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QV8mkMK7K6w Lalasticlala MissyB3 |
