On Sunday Nov. 12, along with the Athens Marathon, 5K and 10K races were held.
A well known young TV hostess "ran" the 5K to raise money for a children's hospital.
Which is great of course!
Trouble is she never mentioned not running the entire race and she posted a finish time of 23:58 according to the official race app, although she seems to have skipped all the mats!

Saucony Greece who have provided her shoes and clothing, used her pic on their IG account without mentioning her not running the entire race.
When folks spotted the cheat and started calling her out on social media, Saucony Greece responded with a Facebook comment stating "we won't feel shame for her running (however long she did) to benefit a children's hospital".
Here's a link to Saucony Greece's reaction on FB (it is written in Greek though)

Well, obviously the issue is not whether she ran for charity or not, but that she has claimed a race performance that is fake!
Your thoughts?
