The top three in Beijing’s half marathon have been stripped of their medals, organisers said, following an investigation into the finish that saw China’s He Jie controversially win.

Four runners in the Beijing half marathon have learnt their fate after an investigation was launched into a farcical finish to the race.

But He, the 2023 Asian Games marathon gold medallist, won by one second after his supposed rivals appeared to slow down towards the finish and waved him out in front.Mnangat told the BBC that the African trio were pacemakers, although their bibs did not say that. The national governing body for athletics will take action to “standardise commercialised road-running competitions”, CCTV said in a separate report on Friday.

The fallout from the race received significant attention on Chinese social media, with many Weibo users praising Friday’s announcement.
