Update: Homeless guy who picked up lost London Marathon bib and ran final 300 meters has been jailed

Truly pathetic

My new wife has a great arse.

He was jailed for fraud. You know who the real fraud is? Jemima Sumgong.

Why aren't athletes that defraud the marathon out of literally tens of thousands of pounds being pursued by UK courts, if they will imprison someone for taking a finishers medal? Next time Sumgong enters the UK she should be brought before a magistrate in my opinion.

Stop saying he's homeless. He lives in prison now. No longer homeless. So, problem solved?

Talk about a waste of taxpayer money. So he got a medal that was mass produced and is probably worth 2 dollars. He probably got some bananas and bagels at the end and maybe a beer. Let the man have the stupid medal and bagels.

Yeah, and the dude is homeless. What are they hoping to gain? Restitution for the 2 dollars worth of bananas he ate and return of the worthless medal? Maybe just put him in prison so it will cost even more.

Did he make banana bread out of them bananas?

It is more than just your opinion, it is the way the law should be correctly and consistently applied. The race organizers of the London Marathon are facilitating the frauds to take place as they keep on inviting doping athletes to the race even when, given the huge amount of drugs busts taking place in Kenya, they know that there is a strong possibilty that the athletes are doping. They should also be put into prison for these crimes.

London police literally pursue people for making mean posts on twitter. The city government had some sort of mental breakdown after the Brexit and just launched into constant meltdown mode.

maybe he did.

Why the heck should a police arrest a homeless man!!! Well, at least the man had some exercise and now that he lives in prison he will have a bed to sleep in.

this is all the fault of letsrun sleuths with torches and pitchforks who ruthlessly hunt down and dox every witch that may have cheated to a 3 hour BQ, the equivalent of a 2:30 800 meters. The British are playing a joke on themselves the exact same way, freaking out about nothing.
