Robert Young fakes run across America

Thank you for bringing to my attention uncertainties regarding Robert Young's transcontinental run.

Mr. Young's run was a remarkable undertaking, done to benefit "the children". I have personally met with Mr. Young on 3 occasions, once even jogging with him. I assure you he is capable of more than you can imagine.

At SKINS, we believe that athletes should handle themselves with honesty and integrity at all times. Robert Young's transparency in this matter has been exemplary, as all data collection was done to Guinness standards.

Go Robert! You inspire us!

Here it comes!!

The back tracking that "the data we have released is up to Guinness Standards."

You heard it here first, they are going to release their notebook and that's it and stand behind the fact that it is good enough for ol' Guinness.

Brings tears to my eyes

Robert Young announced on facebook, buried in 255 comments, that he will run the New York 6 day race next April.

I can't tell if this is a troll or not. I would expect both the really Jaimie Fuller and a troll to write the same thing because SKINS is so ridiculous in supporting a cheater and is probably part of the con.

I can assure you that SKINS fully supports Mr. Young's incredible, inspiration, and charitable performances. I myself am inspired to get up out of my office in my mom's basement and knacker myself on a jog.

This should not be classified as a troll, but as an impersonation.

Send a tweet to him! @jaimiefuller

Not sure if he even reads the comments on his blog.

The fact that "Guinness Standards fall far short of standards befitting a Ultradistance Running Record seems not to matter to Young, his crew or his sponsor.

I'm the handsomest boy in the world.

Proof:

My Mother not only told me I am she posted it on her Facebook account..

I believe it when I see it.

What has been put together as far a good summary that could be sent to a journalist? My concern is that lots of work has been done, but it is all disjointed. In the past few days, some of the revelations that Rob Young created web pages immediately as soon as he started running his marathons or even before show that this could all be nothing more than a long con. Sending a link to a google doc and expecting a journalist to sort through the disjointed evidence probably won't work...

I guarantee this supposed data damp coming up, if it even happens, will be some utterly useless mess of signed log books, video clips, a Guinness form or something, and whatever other crap that means absolutely nothing.

His Thames Meander result is now shown accurately.

When I (a first time LR poster) mentioned this "toe discrepancy" yesterday I was called an idiot and said "to go back and read Robert's Facebook post again". But right after this mention, Robert (who I believe reads these posts) suddenly changed his Facebook page so it no longer referred to his "big toe", but his "right foot toe".

Coincidence?

Don't be so quick to judge people.

Toughen up there cupcake, it'll help you enjoy your stay in LRC.

The "apersson" troll is still not accepting that his hero is a cheater. I won't quote his whole stupid letter.

And his buddy CoachKev is still hiding...

"There are two extremes in this debate who will never change their minds,

the entrenched cynics who will find conspiracy in everything, and the

unquestioning fans, who label any questioning as 'haters'. Any evidence

either way will never be enough to convince either of them, but hopefully

the majority are after a fact-based approach to uncover the truth. For me,

the release (or lack of release) of data should clear up what I think. Rob

has said he will make it public soon, so I will wait until he does. "

Love how the Fuller blog is getting lit up. However the fanboys have a response for individual pieces of cheating evidence. What you need to do when you post is to post a list of all the evidence as a while. i.e.:Photo's of RVSuntan (or lack of)Slowed times on scrutinyPast lies (10k time etc)etc etc etcCan someone make a complete list that we can continually copy and paste?

There's no point in involving a journalist at this stage. The damning evidence that can be blown up on a front page isn't there. Or at least it hasn't been expressed in a satisfactory way yet.

A homework assignment for everyone participating in this thread would be to write a 1000-word essay that presents the RY case as you would like to see it in the media.

I will grade your papers.

Did they tell you if and how the original results were changed by RY?

I read that too. He also said that he, not surprisingly, is new to running.
