20 Feb - Since the public witnessed his unforgivable actions in the 2008 sex scandal, Edison Chen has been making negative impressions in the hearts of Hong Kong citizens and recently he was disqualified from a marathon sponsored by Nike.
Chen put his effort into the marathon for four hours, in conjunction with a charity purpose. He achieved a great result after completing the 42.195km run and helped to raise HK$2 million. However, the actor was seen unhappy with his number 'A5716' as he switched it with other participant's number, 'A5654'. What he had done was confusing the organizer while tabulating the results and eventually he was being disqualified after receiving complaints from other runners.
"Because there were complaints. It's not fair to the other participants, so we disqualified him. We do not recognize his result and will not issue any certificate to him," the organizer said.
Besides, the event sponsor Nike had been asking for compensation from Chen due to his misconduct. It was also reported that the company had invested lots of money and time for the actor's training for the marathon.
