Why do I feel like I have seen this photo before? So weird.
This happened two years ago, and was a Twitter meme. You may have saw it in 2022
It happened this year on the 7th of January, at least to my understanding:
Chinese marathon runner, 52, is disqualified for CHAIN-SMOKING throughout entire race - which he finished in 3hr 33min || 18 January 2024
Holy shit, it's the same man two years later

It does feel very familiar, glad I'm not alone. I feel like he looks like some asshole business exec who was disgraced for some reason? Could be way off though
