ROTHLIN PLANS NEW MARATHON

ZURICH (SUI): Swiss Marathon European Champion Viktor Rothlin will travel on Thursday to Asia to run the Lake Biwa Marathon on March 3. Before that he announced he will organise the „Switzerland Marathon light” in 2014. As Asics ambassador he will also be guest at Tokyo Marathon this weekend. For fall of this year Rothlin announced he will for first time run the Jungfrau Marathon in Interlaken (September 14). It is staged at mountain and very tough course. He said he needs such a motivation ahead of European Championships 2014 in Zurich. In this fall after Interlaken also a city marathon is in plan.

 

LESTER FOR DLV

PISTORIUS UPDATE

PRETORIA (RSA): Initial reports of a banned substance being found at the house of Oscar Pistorius have been rejected by the athlete’s defence on the second day of his bail hearing in Pretoria, adding that the ‘testosterone’ found is a legal herbal remedy. Writes Athletics Weekly. Although finding a banned substance at his home is a serious allegation, Pistorius has other more serious matters at hand, with the athlete denying the premeditated murder of his girlfriend, model Reeva Steenkamp, saying he mistook her for an intruder. In evidence given to the court on Wednesday, the prosecution referred to statements from a witness saying they heard “non-stop talking like fighting” as well as another witness saying they heard screams and gunshots from the house. Chief investigative officer Hilton Botha also said Pistorius would face an additional charge of possessing unlicensed ammunition and that police found two boxes of testosterone and needles in the athlete’s bedroom. However, Inspector Botha later admitted that the witness who said they heard the shouting was 600m (later amended to 300m by the Inspector) away from Pistorius’ house, with the defence also claiming that the ammunition in question belonged to the athlete’s father. The bail hearing was initially expected to last two days, but could now reportedly go on until the end of the week. Inspector Botha argues that Pistorius should not get bail as he considers him a flight risk. Writes Athletics Weekly.
