Kip went to Grand Blanc High School in Grand Blanc, Michigan. It is about 15 miles south of Flint. His practice is in Davison, Michigan - about 10 miles east of Flint. And he lives in Clarkston, 30 miles south of Flint.

Yes, there is a writer and I've corresponded with him on a couple of occasions. The last time was just a few weeks ago. He does not write for any certain magazine. He is a freelancer. At one point he had quite a bit of interest from the previously mentioned large circulation magazine. However, in our last correspondence, he told me that the magazine was only interested if it included an interview from Litton. Since Litton has not responded to him (and I suspsect won't), his article will not run in that magazine. He is shopping it to other magazine, but for now is on hold.

I can't believe people think the guy maintaining the blog is Kip. Why would someone create a self incriminating website? It seems like a stupid move. You wouldn't do such a thing unless you really wanted to be caught and punished. Kip obviously doesn't want to be caught. If he did, he would have spoken up by now. He has not, and there is much we don't yet know. We don't exactly know how. Even the VC Marathon RD came on and said he couldn't figure out how he cheated. We don't know why he cheats. It's not to be the 1st 50sub3 masters runner. That was done 20 years ago, but Kip is too dumb to find this website - http://sub3marathoner.com/.

SOKLR is probably just a fellow runner who has been 'Kipped' a few times, has computer skills, and is interested in maintaining some integrity in the sport of running. This is an interesting story, and I'm very greatful that someone has taken the time to organize all the information.

I got my information with MY correspondence with the writer, not some information from other anonymous posters. You can contact me personally if you want more information.

I don't think that the guy with the blog about Kip is Kip. It just doesn't make sense.

I do think it is just another alias of scotth/ClarkstonKent.

Na uh! The article is real, I don't know how else to assure you that it is... I've told you I know the author and other people who have been in contact... it's real, I swear... it's going to be in a publication that had over 1 million subscribers in 2009... it's real...

SOKLR - Serious question, not just pessimism or subterfuge. Why is important to the writer/magazine that they are NOT named at this point?

The story is out there so it's not like loosing out on a scoop. If they really have pursued Kip for an interview Kip knows what magazine it is so they aren't preventing the possibility of an injunction or something like that. I can't see why not having the name of the magazine out there would make it MORE likely that Kip would talk to them. If anything, it seems like it would build anticipation and have more people looking to get the issue whenever it comes out.

This is an interesting story. It's worthy of being told properly and to a wider audience. Thus, the concern about the existence/status of this publication.
