Ironman athlete Magnus Ditlev has explained that he was given a red card “for disposing of an ice cup too late through an aid station” at the triathlon event in Frankfurt last week.
Ditlev, who is ranked number four in the world in the Professional Triathletes Organisation rankings and won the Ironman South Africa earlier this season, became one of the talking points of the race on 29 June after an official rode up to him and showed him a red card around 8km into the running portion.
