Excellent work Racergirl.
I can confirm one of the CCTV journalists (Kuba Wuls) is one of Rob's friends, so he can't be an independent witness.
I was in Emporia during the day on Saturday, and Rob was a few miles out of town, but I drove by. There were some people filming him with at least one nice looking camera (stabilizing equipment, etc). This lines up with the times he claims ESPN was there. I can't verify that it was ESPN, but I wouldn't be surprised either. Regardless of who was filming, they didn't get video of him actually making progress that day, because he sat at the same spot outside town all day. If he would have been running then, I might have got my time with him, and not tried to run with him at Lebo.
From what I can tell based on Rob's account of ESPN. They may have filmed him Sunday morning to catch him running with the sunrise. That would have been just a couple hours after I tried to run with him.
