Sensational scam at the Lewa Safari Marathon: the winner is not the real runner

The organizing committee of the Lewa Safari Marathona marathon that is run every year in the wide nature reserve Of Isiolo (Kenya)had to cancel the athlete’s victory Philip Kingen in last Saturday’s race due to a “breaking the rules”. The reason for the cancellation lies precisely in the sensational fact that the winner of the tender was not actually the real Kigen, but only an impostor who had substituted for the athlete disguising his identity.
