Armyman Rajendra Bhandari appears with a mindblowing comeback winning the 3rd Int'l Marathon after a ban of two years.
Bhandari was banned by IAAF after he was found positive in doping just after winning two gold medals in the 10th SA Games.
Bhandari took two hrs 22 mins 18 secs to finish the race. Bhandari also grabbed USD 5,000. Second placed Arjun Basnet took 2 hrs 24 mins 34 seconds to grab USD 3,000. Arjun Dhakal was 3rd winning USD 2,000.
"I have worked hard for the past two years", an overjoyed Bhandari said adding, "I have never taken a drug. I will prove to everyone that I am genuine".
In men's 5 km race, Deepak Desar took 16 mins 30 secs to win the title while Sarita Basi won the title in the ladies category.
