Almost a third of the runners who finished in the top 100 of the Xiamen marathon have been disqualified for cheating. The competitors were stripped of their rankings after it emerged some had hired impostors to compete in their place and others had jumped into vehicles part way along the route, Chinese media reported.
Others gave their time-recording microchips to faster runners. Jiefang Daily, the Shanghai Communist party newspaper, said organisers caught the cheats when they scanned video footage. The paper said most of those involved had apologised, but those without a co-operative attitude would be barred from future events.
