Someone thought that it would be a good joke, which fortunately did not leave consequences in the corridors of the Mexico City Marathon 2022. In social networks there is a video viral in which a man empties a bottle of alcohol into rehydration drinks in one of the resupply pits of the race in the capital.
Apparently in the streets of Polanco during the early hours of Sundayhours before the competition, an individual -allegedly- in a drunken state decided to record the moment of his “prank”which has generated outrage on social networks due to the possible health effects that it could generate in the participants, with the wear and tear suffered on the 42-kilometer journey.
There were adulterated drinks in the 2022 CDMX Marathon
“I’m going to throw you fucking Matusalem… Tomorrow (Sunday) everyone will be at full throttle, fucking race is going to be the best in the world”, says the “sympathies” while they pour rum into hundreds of glasses with gatoradewhich serve as drinks against dehydration typical of the sports requirement of running a marathon.
Shocked by the impudence of the guy, whose identity is unknown, users of social networks denounced: “Any guy puts poison in the glasses and nobody finds out, not a policeman, nobody taking care”. Others charged that the organization should have been much stricter, since leaving drinks outdoors without supervision lends itself to “any drunk” commits this type of reprehensible acts.
Some “defended” this situation by saying that “nobody gets drunk with a drink” and that it was a “joke of the networks”. They responded by explaining that alcohol dehydrates the bodysomething that could be serious if we consider that the participants are already so due to the effort of the journey.
At the moment there has been no statement from the CDMX government, the organizing committee or some other authority on this subject, which we hope will serve as an example to reinforce security or change the protocols of rehydrating drinks in the CDMX Marathonone of the most important athletic races in the continent to which professionals from various countries come.
