There is no objection to having running cameramen, there is an objection to them slotting themselves in towards the front of a train on a narrow path, obstructing the runners behind them. There was a specific incident that I was referring to in the WOC Men's Relay, if you'd seen it you'd know what I mean.
At the WG, they were clearly standing in the way, as they would follow a lead runner, then stop, and trailing runners would be forced round the camerman and often street furniture that was also there.
