English manager admits to betting, suspended
New York City Half Marathon, in which he came in second behind Kenya’s Geoffrey Mutai and failed again to break the one hour mark for 21.1km, something his competitors manage on a regular basis.
Mutai, who regularly trains with Kipsang, will also be racing London and will also be a fearsome competitor having won the New York marathon twice, as well as Boston, where he clocked an unofficial world best of 2:03.02.
Still, Mutai said the Somaliaborn Farah will be something of a dark horse in the pack.
“He’s actually very fit and he will give us a big push in London,” Mutai said, adding: “We are ready for his challenge.”
Early pace-setting will be provided on Sunday by the legendary Haile Gebrselassie of Ethiopia, who is under instruction to take the athletes through the first 30km at the world record pace. LONDON: The English Football Association says the manager of English third-tier club Tranmere has admitted to betting on matches involving his own team. The FA says in a statement on Tuesday that Ronnie Moore has accepted a charge of “multiple breaches” of a regulation in relation to betting, and that he has requested a personal hearing. Tranmere suspended Moore in February after the FA launched an investigation.
