THE winner of women's half marathon in Shandong last weekend was stripped of her title when she was discovered to have brought in someone else to run for her.
Liu Shuling was initially awarded victory in the race at the Yellow River Estuary International Marathon but video footage later revealed her to be Wang Xueqin. Wang and Liu were both banned from the marathon for two years and will face further punishment from the Chinese Athletics Association. In January, more than 30 competitors at the Xiamen International Marathon had their results cancelled after they were discovered to have been carrying time-recording microchips for other high school students.
