COMRADES CHEAT SUSPENDED

SERGIO MOTSOENENG, the man who together with his brother Sefako cheated his way to ninth place in this year’s Comrades Marathon, was suspended on Tuesday by his home union, the Northern Gauteng Athletics Union, pending his appearance at a disciplinary hearing. No date has been set for the hearing, but Motsoeneng’s legal representative hopes it will be before month’s end.
