ATY Runner busted faking laps

His physique is in itself a smoking gun, not unlike the images of Julie Miller

Same with Kaiha "Mild-Tardd Ninja" Bertolinni, who looked plump and puffy in her shirtless pics after supposedly running/hiking 2,000 miles on the AT. No self awareness at all.

Are race directors scared of these schizos?

Ultra RD's tend to be very laid back awesome people. Very few of them are in for the money; it's pretty hard to turn a profit when the parks restrict your trails to a few hundred runners. The RD's are likely just too trusting, and too worried about putting on a good race to worry about a few possible cheating a-holes.

Thanks for the perspective, I shouldn't put it on the rd. how do you deal with people willing to register under fake names, hide in the crapper etc...

Looks like Mike Rossi with hair and boobs!

Word is out that when Kelly was busted (this happened several times before this latest incident), he just sent his wife who made the RD an offer he can't refuse, involving her 2 biggest assets.

Look at the belly on this fat f uck. There's zero chance he legitimately ran the Hardrock course without cheating. Face is highly punchable too.

Kelly has a lot of body FAT and too many tattoos.

His medal says that Kelly is WILD AND TOUGH:

= Kelly Agnew did a lot of 7 minute cycles in the Ultra Potty breathing Ultra Runner Sh*t fumes.

It is obvious from the photo that Kelly's brain is now completely full of sh*t.

Action Plan for Kelly Agnew:

1) Shut down the websites NOW!...OK...Done.

2) What do I do now???

3) Run away and hide???

Run Kelly Run!!!

12.

that's the number of DQ's now on his Ultrasignup page; pretty sure it grew from 7 yesterday.

Go RDs, we want MORE!

It was not a good idea to try this stuff again in Arizona with Aravaipa Running.

Aravaipa Running does a lot of race events.

Jamil Coury runs a really great organization.

Well done by Mr. Jamil Coury.

A lot of ultras are run on a shoestring budget, and the resources they have are just too thin to consider policing the whole course. On the big day, they tend to be more concerned with runner safety than course cutters.

I’ve personally only seen course cutting once. The guy finished DFL. I told the race director and he said, “Look, I know. I knew. But I’m happy he came in before sunset.”

But Kelly wasn’t some no name back of the packer, ducking under survey tape in effort to make it to the finish before the barbecue was over. Kelly was well known. He was sponsored. He ingratiated himself to RDs and I imagine that some of them are fuming right now about being sucked in by a con man..... and all the extra work he’s dumped in their laps.

The RD's shouldn't complain, they were all very willing to spend some time with Jo's balloons.

And that's just what he's been busted for. That number should be at least doubled. It's infuriating to hear all the naive yokles from his Wasatch Wranglers running group talk about giving him a second chance. When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time. No mercy.

Yes but Jamil has refused to report on Kelly Agnew in any of the mountain outpost episodes since this happened. Being soft on cheaters is what allowed Kelly to continue cheating for years. The non-ultrarunning world had to do the dirty work for us and expose this dipshìt because apparently we're all too nice and can't keep our own house in order. Ultra running continues to be a joke in this forum and to runners around the world because we don't take it seriously enough and don't clamp down on the bullshìt.

I don't think Jamil has been soft on Agnew. It looks to me that the disqualifications, bans, and widespread news coverage with quotes have been proportionate to Agnew's high level of cheating. It serves the races no benefit to continually berate Agnew when they have already voiced their disqualifications and bans of him. That's LRC territory and what we are good at.

It looks to me that the races see this as embarrassing and have learned a hard lesson of trust but verify. I don't see them as having been soft.

But you're making my point--all the (deserved) news coverage came from outside the ultra world. Jamil DQd Agnew, yes, but only YEARS after he was a known cheat. And even then he didn't publicize it--either on his YouTube channel or in any release. It was Derek Murphy, not Jamil, who blew the lid off this. I'd call that being soft. I like Jamil but he and all other RDs involved are partly culpable for how long this went on. They are embarrassed and in an awkward position, OK, but I don't run races that have soft cutoffs or don't verify results and, in the end, these RDs hurt themselves when people like me don't show up to their races.

I’ll go you one further, Kid Freshie. The “laid back” ultra community typically does nothing to curb any type of bad behavior. And if you suggest it has happened? You’re told that “This doesn’t happen in ultrarunning! We’re chill and laid back!” You’re right, you can see it all over the chatter about Kelly. So shocked!

Last ultra I attended, some people were smoking pot during the pre-race meeting, which was on the property of an elementary school. They were visible to the RD, and it’s three kinds of not okay. Totally not addressed I’ve been offered Percocet at aid stations. Not okay. Not to mention bullying, sexual harassment, and overt racism, all of which I’ve witnessed in my 8 years in the sport.

I don’t think that bad behavior is particularly more common in ultrarunning than elsewhere. But I think the whitewashing and shoving things under the rug ABSOLUTELY is more common.

Didn't Rossi say he was going to become a better man after he beat up a woman? He still hasn't admitted to his cheating AFAIK. So still a liar, cheat, and fraud. Some think he may have paid off the RD or someone in the org. How odd he was not busted.
