The World Athletics Federation officially spoke out! Oppose the fake race Kenyan athlete admits to releasing water: He Jie is my friend

The controversy over the Beijing Half Marathon continues, with Kenyan runner Willy Mnangat, who is currently involved in the race, publicly admitting that he released the water because He Jie was his friend.

In the sprint to the Beijing Half Marathon, the three Africans did not give it their all and looked to be escorting China's He Jie, who won the championship. As a result, there was the question that He Jie was escorted to win the championship.

Kenya's Willy Mnangat was one of three Africans in the sprint at the time, and he ended up fourth. Willy Mnangat was asked if he wanted Ho Jie to win the competition, and he replied, "Yes." ”

Willy Mnangat said that he is from Kenya and is a friend of Ho Jie in the Wuxi Marathon. Although Willy Mannangat says he is a pacemaker, his race number list is the same as that of Ho Jie. Willy Mnangat added, "My job was to help him win, but unfortunately it didn't help Ho Jie achieve his goal of breaking the national record in the half marathon. ”

The World Athletics Federation has also responded publicly to the matter, and they have learned that the local authorities are investigating. "The integrity of the sport is our top priority and we are not allowed to make further comments at this time during the investigation," the World Athletics Federation said. ”
