On Wednesday, October 18, World marathon champion Eliud Kipchoge threatened to sue FunX Radio 91.3FM, NRG Radio 97.1FM and Choice Radio 87.7FM over unauthorized use of his images and name in a commercial advertisement.
The companies had used his images and name before and after the INEOS1:59 Challenge in Vienna, Austria where he completed the marathon in under two hours last week on Saturday.
