Don't understand the bit about 'spectators know the truth', but the only person responsible for what Frank Meza did, for how he used that 'fame' to his own advantage, for drawing attention to himself and giving cause to an investigation, for not coming clean and for everything that caused him to take his own life, was Frank himself.
You wouldnt understand because youre not an intellectual.
People everywhere can accurately assess his performances, checkpoints or lack thereof and come to an obvious conclusion. But again, what Murphy did and what transpired here was completely overboard. The Mike Rossi situation was the same thing.
Its you who's the dumb one here. People out there were not assessing his performance and giving it a pass. Without Derek's probing the cheating of claiming world records aqnd using that to enhance his standing would not have been exposed.
You are probably teaching your kids that 'anything goes' in life and that there are no consequences for your actions
like 90% of lets run posters, derek was a failure at running to wanted to bring down people that were faster than him. He had his moment in the sun years ago, I'm surprised he is still going.
Of course the cheaters are completely devoid of any sense of wrong ?
I’m surprised by most of the posts here on this thread … Derek did an absolute great job of highlighting the cheaters and bums; he has nothing to hang his head over.
The guy that killed himself ..over the sport of marathon running and the total denial of that cheating… I feel sad for his family but he melted down over cheating at a sport … as if it was something earth shattering.

Well that's rich, are you claiming now that Derek Murphy actually did any work investigating Frank Meza? Because Derek completely disowned anything about Frank Meza and said LRC did it all
Funny how the help dries up after Derek Murphy attacked LRC and then he went on a multi-year harrassment of a black woman in Laytoya Snell. Derek now says he has no time for Marathon Investigation but had tons of time for years for the 8 hour marathons of a black woman he had to admit didn't even cheat. It's karma, good riddance to him. From his Facebook:
"I’ve stated before that I’ll no longer focus on individual bandits. Also, I laugh at the comment that I don’t write because I’m not making a dime.
When I write articles, I do make some $ via ads and contributions. If it were about $, I could pump out articles.
Truth is, life and work have taken over and my priority is my kids, my family and my job. I still am keeping an eye on races and reporting tips and investigating, but haven’t written nearly as much. That may change soon, but it may not. There are only so many hours in the day.

Why did you feel the need to identify someone as a “black woman”? Would you have said “Asian woman” or “white woman”? Ask yourself that. It’s weird, man.
I can clearly see you are a white privileged man by you saying that. Clearly you can't see the extreme racism and discrimination pushed by Derek Murphy against Laytoya Snell
To this day, I hold him accountable for pushing Frank Meza toward his death. Guilty of cheating or not guilty of cheating, spectators know the truth about Frank. But that doesnt mean we had to drive this guy to suicide.
Derek was just as interpersonally flawed as those he outed. I am glad there is 1000+ miles between myself and Derek Murphy. I wouldnt be able to accurately predict what would happen if I ever saw him in person. I think he should live a low key life and focus on his family as he seems to be doing.
This is like blaming the FBI agent for hunting down and catching the bank robber. Cheaters get what they deserve. If your ego is so fragile that you can’t handle being exposed, then don’t cheat to begin with.

Facts:
Frank Meza was a respected professional, a productive and generous member of society, and was well liked by his family and friends.
Frank Meza cheated as an official competitor in public sporting events. Based on his cheating he claimed to be an unofficial world record holder in his age group.
Frank Meza killed Frank Meza.
Derek Murphy was not the main driver of the Frank Meza investigation; he did publish what others found. Inside Edition knocked on Frank's door, the LA Times and other publications with orders of magnitude more readers than Derek's site published stories on Frank's cheating.

And threatening him is downright disturbing. You got a problem.

Hi Latoya. Couldn't stand not being talked about, could you?
Nobody cares about you here. Your story was a tiny, insignificant part of what Derek wrote about. I'm pretty sure 99% of the discussion of you on Letsrun, which wasn't much compared to other cheater stories, was driven by you.
Derek had never mentioned you before he contacted you privately to ask a question. You then made a big public deal about it, portraying yourself a victim even though nothing had happened and, again, Derek had never mentioned you.
You keep trying to provoke racism but it's never happened. Derek never mentioned your race. Neither did anyone else on Letsrun except you. There's been zero racism in Derek's posts or those on Letsrun (that I recall). Which is saying a lot, there are monsters on Letsrun, or at least weirdos pretending to be. I don't think you even bothered to make a sock puppet and put some fake racism on here.
So congrats, you started another thread. You trolled me into responding. Someone is talking about you. That's all you've ever wanted. And the money. I'm sure the money you raised for the legal fight against Derek was totally only used for its stated purpose.

The FBI agent - studied at a respected university, went to law school, deep understanding of human values, upholds the law, many times a former collegiate athlete (because high achievers have more than one avenue)
Derek Murphy - an uneducated white guy, incessant on one particular subject like those with aspberger's, is essentially valueless, went on his own accord with social media attacks and lrc postings about the mentally ill, never successful in athletics
See the difference? The difference is vast. Derek Murphy is in no way like an FBI agent. He is a loser old man.

A) Latoya is case in point someone who is mentally ill. It is so obvious she cheated it isnt worth analyzing. The race card is a cop out that her kind has been taught (i.e. like George Floyd enthusiasts). The only race that has anything to do with anything is the race in which she cheated. I know better, you know better. The fact of the matter is, when I know something I am confident in knowing what I claim. If someone keeps trying to defend themselves that's their wrath littered with mental illness out in the open for all to see. Best not to argue and just be confident in your own assessment. If you argue it shows your lack of confidence.
B) I would be tickled with laughter indefinitely if the NTSA poster had an IP address tracing back to Baltimore.
Latoya Shauntay Snell is a foul mouthed liar, which is clearly evident by her social media lies. I think she has the same mental condition as Gary Coleman suffered from.
I'm calling out you white people for criminally harrassing a black woman for years that Derek Murphy admitted didn't cheat and yet you don't take accountability.
LOTS of people on Letsrun were all over that toxic bandwagon.
I wonder which of them will write her an apology note for smearing her name.
