In probably the most farcical race of sporting History a charity runner from Australia (Shane Kelly) won the Boston Marathon dressed as Freddo Frog and then was disqualified for wearing incorrect foot gear (flippers).

After the race Shane said he wasn't worried that the title was stripped from him. "I was there for the Kids" said Shane, "What really surprises me is I managed to collect $3000 during the run. Without the collection bin I reckon I would have broken the record".

Note: Shane (The Legend) Kelly never ran Boston again, however he still collects money for charity and still runs marathons at the grand old age of fifty.
