Why the hatred for people busting cheaters?

Are the haters really secretly cheaters?

No other explanation

I find it very difficult to believe that this guy was making real money coaching, what with the flood of far more reputable sites headed by known quantities.

For one thing, his site is a mess. (I realize that it may have changed in the past day or two; I'd never heard of Kelly Agnew before this.) When I clicked on "About Us," I expected to learn details about his background. Instead, it just says "Wether you're an aspiring trail runner, marathon runner or just need to get back in shape, I can customize a plan for you, focused on nutrition and effective lifestyle change that will have proven results." That generic blather offers nothing, zilch, about his credentials. And, come on now -- "wether"?

His "Sign Up" page doesn't even quote prices; it's just a standard PHP-style e-mail form.

He lists his blog URL as

www.slippingslowlyintopain@blogspot.com

" target="_blank" class="embedly-card">

www.slippingslowlyintopain@blogspot.com

. I mean, that's close, but not even clickable.

He doesn't even say what his background is (did I mention that yet?), only that he started running to lose weight. Yet he positions himself as a coach in every area of life imaginable -- running, eating, weights, lifestyle, even happiness.

He focuses on ultras. That makes him more likely to be a cheater simply because of the increased potential for cheating in most longer events. (Sorry, upstanding ultra runners, but scummy people do exploit the inherent weaknesses of the multi-loop or super-wide-open courses your events are more or less forced to include for logistical reasons.)

On top of all of that, he says he's a vegetarian. Folks, while there are lots of upstanding and trustworthy vegans and vegetarians out there, the ones who brag about it, especially in the context of other indicators, are usually idiots.

His tattoos also suck.

So basically, this guy's DORQ ( Dishonest Online Runner Quotient) is through the roof:

* Ugly, sloppy website

* No background details

* Half-literate

* No prices or specific plans quoted

* Latecomer to running

* Use of "we" too refer to only himself

* "Life coach" type who claims to be a comprehensive adviser

* Vegetarian

* Ultramarathon focus

* Shitty tattoos

He's maybe a 96.4 out of 100, so it was virtually assured that he would turn out to be a cheater, loon, or both.

Was derick at the race? Was he a witness to anything? Or is derek just regurgitating what people who lost have told him?

BY GOD THAT'S JULIE MILLER'S MUSIC

Care to retract the bolded part? Or shall I just go ahead and bust you on this?

There's a very valid reason, no one likes a snitch.

People hate cheaters more than a snitch, douchebag!

Even the great doubler was scared to touch the social media guru known as KP Kelley.

I would like to see these people locked in a house or on an island together in some sort of real big brother/survivor challenge. The degree of evilness/cheating/backstabbing would be out of control.

Wasn't Jane Seo the only one to admit guilt and apologize right away?

I think she’s the one who went out on a bike to create a fake GPS but she did eventually own up.

There was a woman with a “mother fitness”type blog who was caught in a “bib swapping BQ thing” who apologized immediately and has been forgotten. That one was very low level cheating compared to the illustrious names above.

+1 Very well done.

No list is complete with the waddling Parvaneh Moayedi and Larry "Fakin" Macon.

That Kelly Agnew coaching page is very old and stale. Locals have never heard about Kelly coaching anyone. He probably put it up years ago hoping to get some business. The home address on that page is old, he moved away from there years ago.
