Boston Marathon organiser to pay runners affected by doping offenders

NEW YORK -

The organiser of the world's oldest annual marathon said on Nov 26 that it was in the process of contacting athletes entitled to prizes after their results were re-ranked due to disqualification.

The payouts would apply to runners since 1986, when BAA first introduced prize money.

"While the multi-step process to reclaim and redistribute prize money has been complex and time-consuming for all involved, we have worked and continue to work diligently towards a resolution that supports clean athletes.

"Athletes will receive the prize money they rightfully earned at our races with these payments," BAA president and chief executive officer Jack Fleming said in a statement.
