Most race coverage in China completely refutes it. The Beijing Times reported that eight runners went to the hospital, just one from a heart attack. One 52-year old runner and one judge had a heart attack, the Beijing Morning Post reports, while three other runners were taken to the hospital for dehydration. The paper said that four people remain in the hospital Monday morning.

Yes, Beijings marathon was polluted, but it wasnt the scene of seven heart attacks
