The men's

20 kilometres walk at the 2013 World Championships in Athletics was held at the Luzhniki Stadium and Moscow streets on 11 August.[1]

The first leader was

Erick Barrondo silver medalist and local favorite Aleksandr Ivanov
took up the front, 22 seconds ahead of the next group. But Barrondo picked up two red cards.

After 15K, Ivanov took off, with Barrondo giving chase. First Ivanov picked up a red card and slowed down. Then Barrondo picked up his third red card and was told to leave the race to his disbelief. When Chen passed him, he raised his arm to wave good bye. But Chen couldn't catch Ivanov, who took a ten-second victory in front of cheering Russian fans.[2]

One walker gave a positive test at the competition: second last finisher Ebrahim Rahimian of Iran had used erythropoietin.[3]
