Beijing half marathon organisers have announced they are investigating after footage shared widely online appeared to show three African runners deliberately allowing China’s He Jie to win.
An investigation has been launched after an “embarrassing” detail at the finish line of the Beijing half marathon sparked uproar.
“We are investigating and will announce the results to the public once they are available,” a person from the Beijing Sports Bureau, who wished to remain anonymous, told AFP. China Sports Insider Mark Dreyer said the incident was “extremely odd” in a post that gained traction on X. Track and field’s international body said it was “aware” of the footage online and the investigation into it.
