Etiopiešu garo distanču skrējējs Derara Hurisa tika diskvalificēts no Vīnes maratona nepareizas apavu izvēles dēļ. Viņš 42 kilometrus garo distanci pievarēja pirmais, taču uzvara tika piesķirta kenijietim Leonardam Langātam, kas finišēja trīs sekundes vēlāk.
Organizatori diskvalifikāciju skaidroja ar to, ka Hurisas apavu zole bija pieci centimetri, taču noteikumi nosaka, ka tā nevar būt biezāka par četriem centimetriem.
DQ. @Vienna_Marathon winner #Ethiopia's Derara Hurisa has been disqualified for wearing non-compliant shoes, the sole was 5 centimeters. He won in 2:09:22.
