Following a meeting of the Athletics Ireland Competition Committee this week, Perseus Karlstorm has been disqualified from the National Senior Track & Field Championship Men’s 10,000m Walk.

Perseus has subsequently beendeemed ineligible to compete in the Championship as he had not met the six-month residency required to enter and the Championships are closed to guests.

The committee considered all documentation regarding this matter and notes the difficulties for many international athletes to prove their residency in Ireland due to international travel, camps and competition.

All competitors from the event will be advised and medals re-allocated accordingly.
