British runner Bob Sloan was stripped of his third place bronze medal in the Keilder Marathon after witnesses came forward to reveal that he’d gotten tired at the 20-mile mark, hopped a bus to the finish line, then got out and hid behind a tree until the first and second place finishers had run past.
- Greyhound has changed their slogan to: “Leave The Running To Us!”
- Sloan thought he had taken the “Smart Bus”… right up until the moment he was caught.
- This explains why he kept asking the people handing out water bottles as he ran by if they had any bus tokens!
