Elish McColgan has said she is "disappointed" but has no bad words to say after her European and British records were invalidated.

Paul Foster, chief executive of the Great Run Company, said: "We were recently made aware of a discrepancy with the 10k course at this year's Great Scottish Run. Following an internal investigation, we have
