Fraud or cured?

"Marathon runner jailed for fraud

A man who ran several marathons while claiming disability benefits has been given a 10-month prison sentence.
Paul Appleby, 47, from Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, started claiming benefits in 1994 - saying he needed a wheelchair or walking frame to walk.

But Appleby, who claimed £22,300 in total, joined a running club in 2001, competing in road races and marathons. " - BBC News.


I'm sure you've all seen this.... but the question we should be asking is...

Who is this guy's physio?!!!

From a wheelchair to a 3:30 marathon!

I'm sure he could fix my dodgy knee.

I think we should get hold of his Accountant as well...
