Serial Cheater at Marine Corps Marathon? UPDATED!! Price Speaks!!

Who?

Wow - someodd admitting they're a cheat? That's rare in this sport nowadays.

Guess he should just ask our friend Mr. Rossi for advice... *Groan*

It's at least refreshing to get an apology and no BS or hiding in a bunker.

Good for him - bad for cheating, but at least he's man enough to fess up and not dig himself deeper.

His story is now done. Time to move on.

Yup, really should take down the original thread.

Three questions I want to ask him:

1. How much longer were you going to keep cheating? I can imagine the response being "This was the last year. I swear."

2. What was going thru you mind when you put in for 2016 Boston Marathon knowing you were using a time from when you cheated at 2014 Marine Corps Marathon and knowing you were taking a spot away from a runner who legitimately got caught?

3. Have you ever heard of Jordan Hasay?

“In this case, you click on the photo, yeah, looks like a runner — 61 years old, fit, healthy black male,” Nealis said, “but then you look at the times and you see he’s missing two mats.”

So why does race need to be referenced in this???

I am impressed that he fessed up. Apology accepted.

I am sure he has some friends and family who will read the Post.

Happy Thanksgiving.

Wonder if Rossi looks at that and thinks about how an apology might have led to a different route

Will this guy win his 4.2k gobble gallop?

LOL

Great. That should wrap this up, then. He came clean and admitted it. This is much more respectable than the pathological cases of Litton, Rossi, Gemkow, etc.

Time to let this one go - move on.

You got that going for you... wrote:

^^This^^

Speaking of Gemkow...

Yet no results for her....Hmmmmmm.

Either she is using a different last name or she is running bandit now....

Why is it any better that when cornered with evidence, DQd multiple times, and a hit with a lifetime ban?

There's one photo of her on marathonphoto.

This was seen before - I think she either asks to be removed from results or she is DQd quickly and removed. Lately, she has been running actual times you'd expect her to run - like 5 or 6h for the marathon instead of finishing top 3 women.

Thanks Crete.

Can't believe this made the Washington Post. Several interesting lines in that article:

1) "More recently, marathoners Mike Rossi and Kip Litton have been exposed through diligent Internet sleuthing and scorned by message board users." Flat out acknowledges that Rossi cheated. Good stuff.

2) "Price said he wasn’t particularly aware of his time while on the course and wasn’t specifically trying to sneak his way into the Boston Marathon, but by virtue of his 2014 Marine Corps finish, Price was entered in this year’s Boston Marathon in April."

Almost makes it sounds like he entered Boston by accident.

3) "This is something we all love doing, and you just took a dump on it."

Given that, again, this is from the Washington Post, this line is solid gold.
