Last year I was at the finish line of the Brighton Marathon in England. They do that pointless thing of having half a dozen elite Kenyans, then a massive gap to the rest of the mass field.
They had a camera bike in front of the lead runner with live pictures on a big screen at the finish. For the last 10k there was a cyclist alongside passing him regular drinks. No one seemed to notice/care/say anything and he duly won picking up a few k in £££s.
This is an IAAF bronze level marathon. Runners behind should have complained & moved up in prize money. Suppose nobody ever told them
The primitives in England never shower nor brush teeth either.
