Heffernan refuses to let ‘twinge’ spoil Cork return
The race also marks the return of former Olympic and three-time World Championship silver medallist Francisco ‘Paco’ Javier Fernandez, who has served a reduced one-year ban after he was linked with a drugs scandal, although never accused of doping.
The field will also include Jakub Jelonek (Poland) who was four places behind Robert Heffernan in the 20k walk at last year’s EuropeanChampionships.
