The organisers of the Dublin Marathon have banned a senior garda attached to the anti-corruption unit for allegedly boarding the Luas to complete last month’s run.
They told the Irish Mirror they have finished their investigation and confirmed the individual “will be disqualified from future events”.
The officer was averaging 10-minute miles during the first half of the 26.1mile course but this was slashed to nearly six minutes in the second half. Suspicions were raised that he may have used the Luas to complete a portion of the race.
