Did somebody mail the researchers the Google doc, the blog, this thread, Asher's videos?

Hey Dr Joyce Brojos do you think this is how the world works? Do you think it would work with the British tabloids too? Do you think it worked with Jaimie? Do think it worked when Asher started the thread?, etc, etc.

Or perhaps you can explain to us how the world of communication works in 2016?

Sure, with a few e-mails or phone calls or maybe a fax, they'll get right on it. You really don't understand how the world works, do you?

If you two don't stop I'm gonna tell your moms. Remember last time? They unplugged your internet.

Yes Markus, i think i was thinking of james adams, he did a transcon, and looking at his blog mark cockbain was injured and pulled out.

Nevertheless, those two should know RY is lying.

Adams is normally incredibly gobby and never shuts up talking shite, yet just when we need him to pipe up, he's saying very little about RY, when he knows the route and must have known early on he couldnt have done those times through the desert etc

I ran with James Adams in the same Transcon race in 2011.

My guess is that he didn't want to be controversial and had others do the work.

James adams prefers to pick on newbies in the ultrarunning community facebook group and sneer at them, responding to most posts in there like an obsessive.

When the uk REALLY needs him to pipe up, he says very little.

You did fine work Markus. You were polite and calm and wrote clear evidence. Most top ultra runners in the uk have been silent on this issue, to their shame

Thanks,

I speak up when I see BS regarding multiday ultrarunning when I see it and I have done it multiple times in the last 15 years or so since the internet is in full swing.

I feel this is very important to keep the integrity of the sport.

Integrity. I wish there was some left in our sport. Seems unlikely.

I think there is a lot of integrity there but some rotten apples can spoil the rest.

but he done good right? for the children?

HILLARY CLINTON GOES HOME DEVASTATED

Hey Markus, just wanted to see if you contacted the investigators, or had any desire to do so? I think it might be appropriate since you were really the first person to start questioning RY's attempt, well before any of the scrutiny picked up on UL or here.

I've heard that it's eroding and just leaving grit.

I haven't done it yet but I will write the investigators.

Seems like there are finally some legit UK runners who dare to speak out.

Steve Way (2:15)

I personally believe Rob is not "one of them". Having reviewed the evidence and data and also witnessed Rob's online behaviour in the last month I can't see him being anything other than a complete fraud. Just looking at his inability to defend accusations of false PBs and cycling achievements is bad enough but having looked at some of his uploaded runs I can't help but feel he is just taking the piss out of the sport I love. For reference, I personally have some very similar PB's to what Rob is claiming for his 10km and half marathon and not only could I tell you immediately what year and race I did them in, I could probably tell you what the weather was like, who I was racing, show you a Garmin link, show you a Power of 10 link and even describe how good my pre-race shit was...... I wouldn't need a month to think about it.

Steve Way is the real fcuking deal!! Real overweight, couch potatoe, too marathon/ultra running star. Modest as well. With him and Robbie Britton speaking their views, it makes you wonder what Adam Holland thinks.

Yes, one of our most highly respected runners. Interesting that he has come out that strongly against RY.

Here's a question. What do you actually want to happen to Rob Young? What kind of punishment fits this crime?

Rob Young wanted to be famous. We want to make him infamous.

That is a great quote - where did you find it? I'd like to add it to the doc.

Hopefully he will loose his sponsor (which he will by the end of the year anyway). However, it would be fitting if each time he strolled along to an event, at least one person would recognise him and point out the cheat.
