Frank Meza 2:53:10 at LA Marathon (70 years old) unofficial time (just finished)

Surf City Marathon 2011 4th place Joe Ogata is a very popular and awesome runner. Seems he had a third place medal snatched from him by Frank Meza in the 60-64 age group.

2 points: FM starts 23 minutes after the gun -- Almost noone else starts more than 10 minutes after -- Virtually noone misses either the 3mile or 6 mile mat --FM misses both

To be fair Frank hadn't fully perfected his technique eight years ago.

I suppose he did not need to this day. How do you highlight a posters comment when you respond to someone? If you have time to explain that.

Doubler/Derek, will you be following up on this?

Dear God get a grip. People care about the guy claiming an age group world record, not potential bandits.

If you read the complete thread and Marathon Investigation I think you'll find they care about both.

Rod, once you have the "Quote Post" in your reply you can highlight parts and delete them if you don't feel that part is relevant to you answer, saves clogging up the page.

Also, you can do a Frank and what triathleteguru did and cheat and like I did with bold bits above.

Thanks!

Hell and damnation awaits both age group cheaters and bandit cheaters, the wrath of God is spread equally, his grip of right and wrong is unwavering.

New video...

Three minutes shorter and the only voice you'll hear is the barefoot doctor himself, Fran Meza...

Doubler, if you read this I have just 1 question. "Banditing" races is a far bigger financial loss to races than course cutting. (course cutters actually pay to "run" the race -- while using little or no race provided "fueling") The 3 so-called "banditos", (Francisco Meza, Sara Tartof and Phillip Bland) clearly ran the race...or at least most of it, and are not listed in the race "results"....would it not be part of what matters re Pasadena 2019....to find out from the race reps if they were bandits. I think the answer is highly relevant to any investigation of Frank Meza's races.

Frank cheated multiple times, has been caught and publicly outed.

the rest of it is all just stuff and nonsense. no further investigation required. you're wasting your rime.

I respectfully disagree. The nonsense is the stalker type posts and actions of some of the posters. Anyone with an attitude such as yours is suspect in my opinion. (not of stalking) You leave me with the feeling that you are representing the Frank Meza camp, maybe with their blessing, hopefully without their blessing. It feels like this is part of the damage control ahead of Frank Meza's public confession. Pass this on to Frank Meza,,,he should make a complete confession.... then life will go on, and he will be fine.

You nearly got it right Rod, but you deleted "[/quote]" at the end of "highly relevant"s post when you added your narrative.

I guess it takes a while is right. I think we know the deal, Frank Meza confessing would be his smartest move at this point. His denials only make me want to throw more and more proof his way. I bet with all the videos on YouTube there are treasures yet revealed of his methodology. Funny how every time we catch he is re-entering courses. Thanks for pointing out my goof...

General folk don't understand "splits", "chip time" and similar nomenclature.

Rattling on that someone or other cheated at some race or other, screams infantile, jealous or agenda-driven. The cheat may even have a great "social hero story" to explain-away these claims that paints the claimants as whack jobs and the perp as smelling of roses.

He/she can always retort "why are the race organizers welcoming me back to their next race? why have they dismissed claims of cheating?" etc

Leaving these types of reviews hurts me. It’s fuel for those that say that I’m promoting this behavior and that MI encourages shaming. I do what I can to keep posts referencing employers, personal pages etc..off of my social media pages.

I think you are promoting that behavior. And your blog doesn’t only promote shaming, it IS shaming.
