I remember reading about how much Paul Harvey makes a year. It was an unbelievable figure considering what he does. He's syndicated so he gets a fee from every radio station.

why is this even a thread? so he accidentally said the guy won..who cares? this is the bumbling 90-yr old man who doesnt even pause between commercials and news reports.

Well if that's not a good reason to distrust someone, I don't know what is.

Paul Harvey has street cred.
He killed Biggie Smalls. And got away with it.
You know, I thought the same thing. There cannot possibly have been that many 2:40 runners at the finish line in Berlin for race officials not to notice that the dude was dressed for winter.

I have a healthy, natural distrust of guys with facial hair.
Turns out a LOT of people got this story wrong. Roberto Madrazo has now explained that he was simply returning to the finish line area to get his stuff. It seems he went past the finish line, which recorded his time. Seems reasonable enough to me. No evidence of any intent to cheat here. I hope folks just get off his back about this. Come on, its just a masters category award anyway.

Take a look at the finish line photo and tell us that again.
There was every intent to cheat here.
No texmax is right.
When he was running across the finish line with arms strected out he was simply trying to get someone's attention.
'Hey anyone seen my running gearbag? It was red and matches this nifty running jacket'
Comical. Saying he didnt mean to cross the finsh line. That like saying he smoked weed but never inhaled. oh what that was our former president.
OK, after careful review of this video, I now concede that it is likely Roberto Madrazo committed sporting fraud. He went big though!
This is the video that proves it.

It is in el spanish, but you can tell what they mean.
Also, you guys might have some fun mocking Senor Madrazo here, but keep in mind with the right training he might get close to three hours anyway. He's got some real talent.
Furthermore, he's an excellent dancer and that can't be faked (at least not yet, I don't think).
I don't see what the fuss is about. Often you can run with super speed in the middle of a marathon. Many people have trouble with pacing.

No. Paul Harvey died in 1997, but through a special voice-sythesization (sp?) process, a powerful computer re-creates Paul Harvey's voice on a daily basis from a basement office in Lapel, IN.
And to think all this time I thought it was in Perkinsville.
