2018 World half marathon controversy
In 2018, both Carles Castillejo and Marta Galimany were selected by the Spanish National Athletics Federation to compete in the World Half Marathon Championships, among other five athletes per sex, being held in Valencia later that year. However, two days before the race, it was announced that a mistake took place by the federation while reading the rule book for that championships, and that the event only accepted 5 athletes per nation. Therefore, both Marta and Carles were ejected from the national team and could not compete in the event, what caused a massive controversy.[2]
