A top Scottish ultra-marathon runner has been disqualified from a race for using a car during part of the route.

Joasia Zakrzewski finished third in the 2023 GB Ultras Manchester to Liverpool 50-mile race - but is thought to have travelled by car for 2.5 miles.

The 47-year-old GP, from Dumfries, is understood to have been tracked on GPX mapping data covering a mile of the race in just one minute 40 seconds.

A friend said Ms Zakrzewski had felt sick and was sorry for any upset.

The matter has been referred to UK Athletics.

Wayne Drinkwater, the director of the GB Ultras race, said that after the ultramarathon he received information that a runner had gained an "unsporting, competitive advantage during a section of the event".

'Very disappointing'

He said: "The issue has been investigated and, having reviewed the data from our race tracking system, GPX data, statements provided from our event team, other competitors and from the participant herself, we can confirm that a runner has now been disqualified from the event having taken vehicle transport during part of the route."

She's now said she made a "massive error of judgement" ... no love ... forgetting to tie your laces or to put your shorts on might be massive errors ... accepting a lift from a mate during the race and taking the 3rd place medal and trophy is just plain cheating <laugh>

I always love those remarks when people are caught in the act.

"In burning down that orphanage I made a massive error of judgement. However, after some serious soul searching, communication with my loved ones and reconciliation with the lord almighty, I have come to the conclusion that I should be spared from the electric chair. Thank you."

Only fair way to decide the winner of this would be league points and goals scored.?

So Yeh looks like citys would surpass it, if they do it.

It's an absolute nobhead view to have. Preston NE won the top flight in 1889, not sure why all these other teams have celebrated it since them really they should go find their own trophies.

I don't really get it that the flag wipes out the red card, because the foul and the intent were still there, so I just think it's irellevant the flag going up.

Guess that technically it hasn't therefore prevented a direct goalscoring opportunity... which is why it's an automatic red ...

The message that would give to me as a player though, is always foul him if you think it's a fine line, because the flag might save you, it's bonkers, it encourages fouling rather than preventing it.

Possibly ... but it's a risk ... I thought Haaland was way off in real time ... but the freeze frame showed it was much closer ... that would have been "Goodnight Sweetheart" if Bayern had gone down to 10...
