World record 5km risks being disallowed

A new record for the fastest 5km has been set by Beth Potter, but there's a great risk of it being chalked off. 

The Scot stormed to an astonishing time of 14min 41sec during the run in Lancashire last night. She reached the podium having clocked in at two seconds faster than the previous record set back in February by Beatrice Chepkoech.

However, Potter's hard work could be all for nothing as the new record looks likely to be disallowed. As there were no present at the race, her achievement will not count. World Athletics rules state that "the first passing of urine" must be taken from each runner in order to finalise any results and times.
