I admittedly don't know the entire series of events leading from Mr. Kip Litton being outed as a cheater to him proposing, through some idiot of a mouthpiece, to jog a 3 1/2-hour marathon if someone pays him five grand to do it. What I do know is that the legitimacy his race results are about as open to question among thinking people as the idea that the universe was created about 10,000 years ago over a period of six days.
Kip Litton is a piece of shit. He has cheated even after his name and reputation were already shot to shreds. He is an unrepentant, unapologetic recidivist who is so much of a spineless turd that he relies on brain-dead opportunists like this Dan Baxley punk to step up to the plate and sputter defensive commentary on his behalf on Internet forums.
Litton is supposedly a prosperous professional, but this claim doesn't comport well with the fact that he's desperate enough to jog a marathon under a cloud of scrutiny and shame for a few thousand bucks and yet not willing to engage any of his interlocutors directly.
Whoever started the SOKLR site is a credit to our sport because he obviously undertook the project as a labor of love and out of a sense of integrity. If I knew who it was, I'd offer to send him ten bucks to put toward his next race and would encourage other appreciative persons to do the same. SOKLR-dude (or dudette), put a PayPal button on that blog and see if you don't see a few contributions for the time you've spend ensuring that this clown figure can no longer ply his dishonesty without experiencing the full wrath and recriminations of those who actually train to race at any level and do it HONESTLY.
