I have never read a forum until last night but I saw a guy on the bus reading a forum and was inspired. I read half of moby dick last night, then read 20 pages of this thread in 30 minutes. I went to work and then after work I read 20 more pages in 16 minutes. I slept for four hours and then read the final 23 pages in 7 minutes.
I am going to read 20 pages a day every day to inspire children.
Made me laugh. Classic

I wish to bring to your attention the inexcusable cheating and fabrication of athletic accomplishments BY one of your sponsored athletes, ROBERT Young (http://www.marathonmanuk.co.uk/supporters-help/)
Investigations have shown that Mr. Young's background is RIFE with fabrications and that evidence has surfaced that his current attempt at a record run across America has been facilitated with cheating by riding in an RV on the running route:

His name is Robert Young...
Fixed some other typos (in bold). Thanks for the template.

Is this Wouter from The Barkley?
Yep

I have next week off. I am not kidding when I say that, as you are going through my home state of Ohio, I am going to follow you guys and track every step. I think you are 100% full of it and I intend to prove it next week.
I plan on following him in Ohio as well, we should collaborate

Wow that post says he was a word champion in the triathlon. What. A. Joke.
I've been away from this thread for the last 18 hours due to kids soccer games, birthday parties and bourbon (mostly bourbon).
Two takeaways I've gotten from going through the last couple pages (I'm not reading everything I've missed).
In the United States you can not be convicted for libel or slander for stating an opinion based on disclosed facts. Every American posting on this thread is in the clear from a legal standpoint. Great Britain has some wacky libel laws, you may be on thin ice I'd your posting from the other side of the pond.
Why is no one yet following him? This is the equivalent of someone posting that they saw Mike Rossi retreat to the parking lot after the start of the LVM and no one will leave their computer to bust him mid course. If I didn't have kids, I would 100% be there. You damb single childless millennial runners need to get off your butts and start biking along side of him. It's great that Lazarus is going after him, but if he's the guy from the Barkley Marathon movie, he's nuts, and not all in a good way. LRC needs some boots on the ground.
I predict one of his buddies gets nervous or exhausted and wants the sham stopped. He tells RY to come clean, or else he will. If this really is fake, which it seems it is, at least one insider will break., soon.

What is so strange about wondering what the %#$^ is up with some car that starts following you around at 2 AM in the middle of nowhere? The grossest thing about all of this is the driveby post by rojo: "Go off and ruin this guy's entire life in one day guys!! AWESOME!! Don't worry, we'll look into the facts and bother to actually contact him later. In the meantime, trashing someone without a thought is what we live for at LRC, as long as my name gets mentioned on outside online."
Race cheaters suck, but this 'attack first think later' BS sucks a lot more.
We've never attacked first and then asked later.
Please give me a single example of a case like you are describing or where something like this has proven to be false .

Depending on my schedule, I could follow him anywhere from a couple hours to a couple days.

If I didn't live so damn far away, I would be on my bike following this fraud. Come on, people! Find Rob and start tailing his ass. Apparently he's less than 30 miles from the IL border. Don't wait for Lazarus to show up.

Umm... How are those "NOP is cheating" accusations going?
I am thrilled to discover that as I too paid a few £ to British Athletics, I can describe myself as a British Athletics Athlete. That's right up there on my résumé alongside an O-level in General Studies, a BSc* and a 10k time which would be slower than most fun runners at a marathon.
I assume someone has already checked that he genuinely was in the Royal Corps of Signals as claimed, since the British Army take a dim view of people who make that sort of stuff up?
British and embarrassed to be associated with this fantasist pillock.

Hi Long Time Reader....First Time Poster
Hey, I am thinking of hooking up with good ol' Robbie soon as well - most likely when he gets closer to or into Ohio. Unless he quits now that he appears to be actually running and can no longer hit his AMAZING running pace from the first half of the journey.
