Does no one realise what is going on here. London Marathon organise the event - they say what can or cannot happen. They proposed that male pacesetters be allowed to run - Radcliffe said ok. Never did she ask for this, the other runners (except one) all agreed. Hell, this solution is about highlighting women's running.
It has been portrayed that there will be 2-3 men, there will infact be around 10 (atleast) running at different pace. In a mixed race there are probably 18,000 !!
