CNN —An ultramarathon runner has been banned for 12 months after using a car during part of a 50-mile race, UK Athletics (UKA) announced. Joasia Zakrzewski was competing in the GB Ultras Manchester to Liverpool race in northwest England on April 7 when she accepted a ride in a friend’s car and ended up placing third. The panel ruled that Zakrzewski would be banned from competing in any event that falls under UK Athletics jurisdiction, or from representing Great Britain, for 12 months. “I would never purposefully cheat and this was not a target race, but I don’t want to make excuses,” she said. Zakrzewski, a doctor who has competed internationally for Scotland and Great Britain, is able to appeal the decision.

A top ultramarathoner who got a lift for part of a race has been banned for a year from competing or coaching in Britain. The runner, Joasia Zakrzewski, a 47-year-old British woman, acknowledged that in April she traveled by car for two and a half miles of a 50-mile race from Manchester to Liverpool. But race officials there encouraged her to continue. A key area of dispute is what Zakrzewski told the officials. She said she mentioned having been in a car and was encouraged to finish the race unofficially, for pride.

Nov 15 (Reuters) - Long distance runner Joasia Zakrzewski was banned for 12 months by a UK athletics disciplinary body on Wednesday for riding a car during a 50-mile race in April and accepting third place. The 47-year-old, who was stripped of her third place, claimed she had informed race officials about having been in a car and finished the race "in a non-competitive way". The Independent Disciplinary Panel of UK Athletics disagreed with her in their verdict. "She also did not seek to return the trophy in the week following the race."

CNN —Scottish ultramarathon runner Joasia Zakrzewski has been disqualified from a 50-mile race after traveling in a car for a section of the course. The 47-year-old Zakrzewski told the BBC she made a “massive error” in accepting the third-place trophy and “should have handed it back,” adding that she was “tired and jetlagged and felt sick” during the race having arrived from Australia the night before. Her friend and fellow runner, Adrian Stott, said he wasn’t able to offer further comment on the event. “I would never purposefully cheat and this was not a target race, but I don’t want to make excuses. UK Athletics said it was aware of the incident and that it would likely be managed at a national governing body level.
