She likely withdrew so she could put the whole sorry mess behind her. If her name were still listed as the winner, she'd forever be known as the winner who kept competing after defecating.

It's a ridiculous story. People sh-t themselves all the time during marathons. I remember watching Greta Waitz run in the NY Marathon with a roll of toilet paper because the stuff was oozing down her leg. It's a well known problem with distance runners. Don't know why this one is getting so much attention.
Really? I wasn't aware of that. I was a runner in my distant youth. It's no wonder I always stuck to sprinting:)
She well and truly left a mess behind her already.
She'll still be remembered for defecating anyway.
