[Real-time News/Comprehensive Report] That’s outrageous! The Berlin Marathon in Germany ended successfully on September 27. Unexpectedly, it was later reported that Abeeeer, a female fitness influencer with 530,000 fans on the Chinese social platform, cheated by riding a bicycle during the race. She has issued an apology today (October 3).
It can be seen from many articles on China Weibo and The times of 3 minutes and 27 seconds, 34 minutes and 46 seconds, 35 minutes and 37 seconds, and 36 minutes and 55 seconds showed a trend of getting slower and slower. When it reached 35 to 40 kilometers, it only took 30 minutes and 49 seconds to complete the run, which was much faster than all previous paces.

In addition, someone posted a photo of Abeeeer riding a bicycle on the race track. In response to this, Abeeeer once made a strong defense, claiming that she felt unwell, vomited and fell down at 38 kilometers. Therefore, she had the idea of retiring from the race, so she took a friend's bicycle to find the referee to withdraw from the race. Later, some fans who followed her claimed that there were only 4 kilometers left to finish the race, and there was a chance to set a personal best, so she continued to return to the place where she originally rode the bicycle to complete the race without losing any distance.
However, Abeeeer's statement did not convince the public. She finally issued a "solemn apology" statement early this morning, admitting that her behavior of riding a bicycle at the Berlin Marathon did violate the rules of the event. She made no excuse for the above behavior. After the game, she deliberately concealed this fact when sharing it with the outside world. It was a very dishonest behavior and violated the sports spirit of fair competition in the marathon. She felt deeply guilty for this and solemnly apologized to everyone.
