Lakshmanan crossed the finishing line at third but was later disqualified under IAAF Rule 163.3b (lane infringement). He was initially shown to have clocked 29:44.91s.
Lakshmanan, fresh from winning a gold in the 3,000m event at the Asian Indoor Games in Ashgabat, Turkmenistan, clocked a time of 14 minutes, 4.21 seconds to bag the top spot.
I was concentrating on my race, so I don't know how he was running but I feel good to have run alongside him, Lakshmanan added.
The 27-year-old Indian clocked 13 minutes 35.69 second, nearly one second better than his earlier personal best of 13:36.62.
