The anti-corruption Garda who was banned from the Dublin marathon after being suspected of taking the Luas during the race has told pals he was just trying to pick up his gear.
The man handed back his medal and t-shirt after questions were raised over his time - but it's believed he only ever intended to run half of it.
Marathon chiefs said the man had apologised and “will be disqualified from future Dublin Marathon or Dublin Race Series events” as a result.
