Alleged Comrades Marathon Cheat Does It Again in 2014

--:--
In a previous episode of Run Talk SA we chatted about some very irregular Comrades Marathon splits that pointed to, in our opinion, a back of the pack Comrades Marathon cheat. There have been numerous incidents of cheating at the Comrades Marathon over the years from doping to a set of twins running half the race each and bagging a Comrades Marathon gold medal.It seems that back of the pack cheating is becoming more and more prevalent at the Comrades Marathon. We are not saying every one of them cheated, but in 2013 there were just over 30 runners that missed one or more of the timing mats along the route. In 2014 more than 90 did.Six weeks after the 2014 Comrades Marathon it has come to our attention that runner that we first spoke about, race number 25058, Kitty Chutergon is once again involved in some very irregular goings on.Will the real Kitty Chutergon please stand upBelow are a few photographs that were taken by Action Photo on Comrades Marathon race day this year. As you can see even though the numbers are the same, it is definitely not the same runner running in number 25058. READ MORE
