Cheater of the Day

From this morning’s Washington Post:

“Scottish ultramarathon runner Joasia Zakrzewski placed third after running a 50-mile race in England this month in less than 7½ hours.

Well, she apparently didn’t run the entire distance.

Zakrzewski was disqualified following allegations that she used a car to cover 2.5 miles of the GB Ultras Manchester to Liverpool 50-mile race on April 7. She faces disciplinary action from UK Athletics after accepting an award for her third-place finish, then blaming jet lag and “miscommunication” for her actions.”

C’mon, Jasia - - jet lag?

Sorry - it seems there was more to the story? Wasn’t feeling good, accepted ride to checkpoint, where officials encouraged her to at least finish the course. But didn’t tell her she couldn’t accept the bronze???
