Lanzhou Marathon Organizing Committee announces punishment! Contestant number 19790, invalid score | Marathon | Contestant
In the 2023 Lanzhou Marathon race, the competition department of the organizing committee confirmed based on the timing records and timing video verification that contestant Ma from 19790 only passed three timing points: the starting point, the 40 kilometer point, and the entire finish line. According to the relevant requirements of the timing method in the 2023 Lanzhou Marathon Competition Regulations, the competition department of the organizing committee has confirmed that the athlete's score is invalid.
The athlete's behavior violated the relevant provisions of Article 6 and Article 7 of the 15th Punishment Measures of the 2023 Lanzhou Marathon Competition Regulations, such as "leaving the track, taking shortcuts, or inserting into the track using any means of transportation", "not following the prescribed requirements, repeatedly passing through the finish line, and privately passing through the finish line to collect medals and souvenirs", which constitutes a serious violation, disrupting the order of participation, and affecting the fairness of the competition. The Competition Department of the Organizing Committee has decided to impose a two-year ban on the athlete and reported to the China Athletics Association for additional punishment.
I hope that all runners will abide by the competition rules, respect other runners who strictly follow the competition rules, respect the spirit of sports, and consciously maintain order on the field. The Lanzhou Marathon Organizing Committee will strengthen event supervision and management in future events, prioritize runner experience, and jointly create a fair and just marathon competition environment.
