London Marathon runner denied medal after spectator stole number and finished race



London Marathon spectator stole runners number, ran final mile and claimedmedal


London Marathon bosses are investigating after an imposter picked up a runners fallen race number less than two miles from the end and then stole his medal. Exhausted Jake Halliday is said to have lost his competitor number around 15 minutes from the end of last Sundays event.

Because runners are not allowed to take part without official numbers, gutted Jake was apparently taken off the course just after he hit 24 miles. But a spectator picked up his missing bib 35179 and ran the last few miles before making off with his silverware.

The hoaxer who appears to be naked from the waist up can even be seen at the end in official marathon photos with Jakes race number clearly visible kissing the stolen medal.

Jake was running for blood cancer charity Bloodwise and was last tracked with 1.4 miles to go. He was estimated to finish the marathon in under three and three quarter hours.



(WHAT A DICK)



Honestly why you would do this is beyond me, this guy should be ashamed of himself!


UPDATE**

He has been arrested due to an unrelated theft charge, he is actually a homeless person. read full article below.

but a medel thats worth shit? This imposter cost a charity 3,000, a charity for blood cancer for a pox chunk of silver coated nickel, it turns my stomach!

Too bad he didn't try that one at the Boston marathon

Some people are so desperate for attention that doing this would be a good idea. They were probably thinking "Maybe I can get off with a medal under my name" which of course is absolutely insane.

I admit he does look like a better of a crackhead pmsl. But its not even real silver and even if it was it wouldn't be worth shit!
