SPR 7 Mar 4:17pm, 7 Mar 2024 43,772 posts	0 SPR We need to discard the London Marathon from any discussion. The HM is an open and shut case with the why being mitigation.
auburnette 7 Mar 4:38pm, 7 Mar 2024 2,257 posts	0 auburnette The AW article says LLHM invited her back with a message of support?!?!?! Why on earth? Makes me think very poorly of them and won't be looking to do that race in future...
57.5 Days of Pain 7 Mar 4:48pm, 7 Mar 2024 17,369 posts	0 57.5 Days of Pain I'm failing to understand why England Athletics would do anything about what would be a minor matter other than her job and her social media presence. It's up to her employer to decide whether her role impacts their reputation and their advertising revenue, and her social media audience to decide whether to continue their belief in her as a positive 'influencer'.

SPR 7 Mar 7:55pm, 7 Mar 2024 43,775 posts	0 SPR If the governing body knows about someone cheating, the normal thing isn't to shrug. I imagine most of the time they don't. At minimum there should be something saying this isn't expected behaviour when you do a race. I actually believe she didn't plan to cheat and likely cut the course by accident but she did pretend she'd run the time in the HM after the event when she knew she hadn't and left it in the results rather than inform the organisers. At minimum you'd expect something saying this isn't what we expect you to do when you run a race and use the story to publicise expected conduct
