From the report:

" We have identified no alternative plausible explanation for the data-of-record other than assistance,."

What about the power of Sausages? Or the fact that Rob is just a different type of ultra runner? (one that needs no training and can arrive at events overweight and out of shape). How about the internal motivation of doing it for the kids?

Aren't these plausible explanations?

Article will be up precisely at 6PM tomorrow night along with a link to the full report. I also believe that the official statement from SKINS will be up on their blog at that time.

I'm not doubler, and I have the report. Since the embargo only covers publishing of the report in the press, I'm considering sharing it here.

What do you guys think?

Of course everyone here will tell you to share it here. I'm not sure that my site is actually 'press' either..but it does seem that Skins mostly took the right steps after Rob's run , so I will respect the embargo.

According to Wikipedia, a press embargo is only a 'gentlemen's agreement' anyway. There is no legal obligation to withhold the report until Sunday.

Don't share it.

I can't believe I'm saying this since I want to see it so badly, but considering how Fuller and Skins handled things, I think we should honor the request. Skins brought on two very respectable investigators (originally I thought they would assign a couple of bozos to protect their corporate interests) who apparently put a lot of time and effort in if the report is ~100 pages as claimed. So, I'm ok with another day and half wait. After all, we've been waiting a while!

No, there is no legal obligation. You'll just shred your credibility as a journalist and never be trusted again. (I know this is an anonymous site, but leaks like that aren't hard to trace-- the people who are interested in this are a pretty small world.) But on the other hand, you'd be message board famous. Tough choice.

He cheated.

well, if wikipedia says so..

regardless, I'm going to wait to post the article..it will take me almost until then to have it written anyhow.

I actually received it from SKINS directly as well as one of the investigators. There was more formal language regarding the embargo in the email from SKINS General council.

IN my opinion you should just release the report. After all, if you don't release it then somebody else will shortly. After all, this is just some dope running attempting a lame transcon. It is not like it is sensitive national security secrets.

Best wishes.

My thoughts exactly. SKINS and the investigators did a throrough job. While SKINS made mistakes during the whole run, they acted appropriately after it was over.

Cheated according to what rules? There's not exactly any legal rules governing a transcontinental run. Therefore, Rob didn't actually break any rules.

Honor your word and don't share it. Waiting a few hours is never worth throwing your honor in the garbage.

...and while it would result in a ridiculous amount of traffic, it would be a douchey move to release it early.

Ok well let me say this much... you are all in for a treat ;)

Somebody will beat you to the punch and release it shortly. Mark my words. But you will still have your integrity towards Skins. For whatever that is worth.

After seeing there is clearly honour among basement-dwellers, I have decided not to release the report early.

By the way, I know for a fact that a reporter from at least one major news outlet has the report and is currently following up with their editor.
