Comrades stands by Zola Budd decision─── 12:44 Thu, 12 Jun 2014
Durban - The Comrades Marathon race director says the association stands by the race referee's decision to strip Zola Budd of her veteran's title.
Forty-eight-year-old Budd finished 7th in the women's race and was the first veteran to cross the finish line in Durban last week.
Rowan James says she has been informed that she has not displayed her age category tag properly - and will not receive the veteran's title.
Budd's manager, Ray De Vries says they will challenge the decision claiming the runners who finished 2nd and 3rd in the women's race also did not display their age category tags properly.
