How was he number 2 without running the whole course!!! Asking for a friend!!!!!

he was the second across the finishing line ukishinda watu KCPE lazima ukuwe ulisoma kutoka std 1?

the worst thing for him is if he claimed to be no. 2 and wanted 'his money'. If he finished no. 2 and kept mum as people processed him angekuwa safe... but him running on a public road is not an offence.

Angeulizwa angesema he was the second across the finish line... lol!

That is exactly what I thought, he stops asking for recog/money.

indeed... that does not make it criminal - right? coz doping itself is not criminal...

I think the worst they can do is deny him the price... what he did was despicable but not criminal. He came in second but did not follow the rules of the race so he is disqualified.
