No, just saying yes he did it when he posted the route of his first run on mapmyrun and saying yes he did it when his book recorded a different route, basically just saying he did it.

Have you changed user name ?
How does what you say constitute proof of anything or are you being ironic?
They did not follow him his runs were unobserved. Not sure what you are saying about my username.
Essentially his mapmyrun route for the first run is different to the book account. If he is not consistent about which route he did I could not care less whether someone else says he did it.
According to Rob's online race schedule, he was supposed to run the Berlin Marathon last weekend, and the Chicago Marathon next weekend.
http://www.marathonmanuk.co.uk/wheres-rob-running/
There are no Berlin results for him and no social media activity. In all likelihood he is not running Chicago. So he's either still recovering from injury, cut off from travel support from SKINS, or both. Do we know anything more about his actual upcoming race intentions, aside from the Sri Chinmoy race next year?
Ok, so he has a load of fake Turkish followers. What was the timing on that, can anyone find out if it was just before the online vote for the Peace and Sport award 2015. It's self nominated, but it isn't meant to be self voted. If anyone can confirm when the fake followers were purchased it might be something for Peace and Sport to look into.
It looks like his FB page has been deleted!

To my reading you appeared to be answering the question I asked the user with the handle "East Sheen Collective", I was trying to establish if they were serious or trolling

the fact that he has been proven a cheat must call into question this award. Surely they would not want to be associated with one such as him. Perhaps his fake followers will nominate him again this year so he can retain it.
Phew, I can't believe there's a 101 page report on this whole thing. I'm bored, and might read it tonight.
I read every word of the 522 page Let's Run thread.
But I'm too lazy to read a 101 page report.

Please, please tell me you're kidding, otherwise you'll have to be banned from using that handle.
All right, I'll come clean, I wasn't being serious, but I'm upset that someone thought I might be.
You must be new here. Don't get upset, that dude is always like that.
Hang on a second where in that article does it mention the sponsors employee was on the trip, and driving the RV!
Basement dwellers, we need to once again raise our pitch forks. Just look at what Jaimie Fuller and The Guardian are writing about us:
There are a couple of points worth making here. While the results were greeted with glee by much of the ultra-running community, the Skins chief executive, Jamie Fuller, said he was worried about the abuse Young was getting. “The findings are clear and we absolutely accept them,†said Fuller, who has ended the sponsorship deal. “But we must remember that beyond being a runner he’s a human being. In my view his background means there are special circumstances.â€
Only the stone-hearted would dispute that. Young has suffered enough cruelty in his life and, though he has been the author of his own misfortunes here, there is no need for others to glory in them. While cheating is cheating, the only person Young has destroyed is himself. There were no rivals on the road to cheat out of medals.
They are still assuming that everything Rob Young has said and wrote about his childhood is still true even though we have a mountain of evidence showing holes in his stories and that infamous picture of Rob sealing himself up in a suitcase for comedy. They are calling us "stone-hearted" when in reality they should be calling themselves dumb and gullible.
Upcoming races? He is done with running and life. The whole world knows he a fraud. Does he have no shame to show his face around anywhere? He need to change his name and start over. Unlike Rossi and Kip, he doesn't really have a job.
His PR's according to his website...
Does anyone else in the world have a 10K where they split a 5K faster than their 5K personal best?
I won't even talk about the 1/2 and full marathon?
5km 15:56
10km 30:47
Half marathon 1hrs 08mins
Marathon 2hrs 41mins
24hrs 141 miles
200 miles 38hrs 43mins

http://watercooler.skins.net/2016/10/02/rob-young-trans-america-run-attempt/We also had a look at the tenor and pathology of the many comments I received over three blogs in relation to this matter. While I’d love to think my musings on Watercooler are widely read, they don’t generally attract huge numbers of commentary.
Some of the comments posted were genuine. They dealt with the issue at hand – the run attempt – and presented, or pointed to, data in support of the commentary. Some of the same people who commented on the blog contributed submissions to Roger and Ross for their consideration.
Funnily enough – considering I would never dare attempt to try ultra-running and wasn’t in the USA at the time, let alone the support vehicle – most of the comments were directed at me personally.
An analysis showed that they were largely sourced to two IP addresses, one of which was geolocated to the principal marketing agency of a major sports brand competitor.
Of course this may be sheer coincidence, but if it’s not, it’s actually quite flattering.
It tells me that SKINS and I are getting cut-through in our advocacy of better governance in sport, in a drug-free sport, and some actual leadership in sport – and that can only be a good thing. It encourages me to keep going!
That's a block quote from Fuller's water cooler comments at Skins:
http://watercooler.skins.net/2016/10/02/rob-young-trans-america-run-attempt/Not surprised he tracked the IP addresses on the blog to see where the criticism arose. And not surprised he mentioned it to scare off a deluge of negative comments like he received before. And there's a good chance he's highly exaggerating the claim that most of the complaints came from two IP addresses. It's just a ploy to downplay all the previous comments as if the work of two hyperactive internet trolls. And then he manages to spin it all as if it's a badge of honor for his little innocent company against some big unnamed evil corporate rival. One big steaming pile of fecal matter.
Hey, Jaimie Fuller. Here's an idea. Maybe all the outrage was simply that runners hate liars and cheaters. Your company sponsored one. And your employee helped pull it off. And you and your company did nothing until forced to do so. And even still, you choose to protect your lying employee.
Out.
I'm pretty happy with Skins, without them getting the report done by two independent experts we would not have closure, there would still be doubt as the cadence would never be released and his sponsorship would continue.
Really Skin's has put a great full stop into this whole saga and left us with a juicy report to read with plenty of kudos to LR users. What is missing is an admission and apology from Rob. Until he does that I suspect he will continue to be heckled when ever he shows his face in public (and so he should).
Would I would love now is if somebody could prove his marathons around Richmond were also fakes as we all know them to be. His witness watched him run around the corner where he purchased a coffee and paper and sat for 3 hours. He kept getting bored so his marathon times kept decreasing. Every now and then ran a legit marathon. Seems true to form.

Only looks that way if you're outside the UK - he's limited access to UK IP addresses. It's still visible, and highly moderated right now:
