Seven men who ran this past Sunday's Shanghai International Marathon have had their results wiped.

Why?

Because they ran as women, and they're not.

Their pictures were caught crossing the finish line with bibs meant for the women's race.

Along with canceling their results, they're also banned from participating in the 2017 and 2018 Shanghai International Marathons. Not only that, but according to the final tally, two of them (runners 30220 and 5346) came in with strong results: 19th and 21st place.

Guess they'll have to train harder in 2019 to keep up with the boys.
