I don't think this situation deserves a public shaming callout on MI unless malice has been established (actual bib mule scenario, etc.).
Still waiting for Derek to apologize for falsely accusing Ashley Paulson.
Didn't Derek say on Facebook he was stopping these MI articles? He never kept his word and is addicted to public shaming whoever he wants.
Derek need serious mental help

1) How would the race or I get sued if I raced with someone else's bib?
2) Give 3 examples of this happening.One example of a successful lawsuit would be enough, but I seriously doubt there would be any. Legally, it is a non-issue. If you are banding, you are not a participant in the event as you never signed up; if you get hurt, you have exactly the same right to sue as a spectator on the course that gets run over by the lead car.
Not even close. you'd have no cause because you committed fraud and those waivers aren't that rock solid to begin with.

There are two issues here.
1) Should races allow bib swapping
2) Should you ignore the race rules.
The answer to #1 is yes for almost all of us.
Most of the issue is with #2. It seems like some people think that since the answer to #1 is yes, there is no moral problem with #2. Lots of people think this way, about most things in their life. Since I think the rule is stupid, I can ignore it.
I think when you sign up for a race, no matter how stupid you think the rules are, you need to abide by them.

Bib swappers strike again!

OK, I think there may be a mistake by the Houston Marathon in disqualifying the female. Obviously, the guy is not a 12-yo girl (unless that's how he identifies?). Anyway, she looks like she could be in the 16-19 range. The guy ran with a bid for a girl named Nataly Reyna and the female with a bib for a person named Citaly Lopez. There are photos of them together with a third runner, #32541 named Bryant Reyna, age 15. Too much of a coincidence that they have the same last name. They all obviously know one another since they are posing together. Citaly and Nataly sound like they could be sisters; maybe the older one is married and now goes by Lopez. It is quite possible that she is running wearing her proper bib.

There used to be rules about women not running marathons.

Yep that's the exact same thing (sarcasm).

Technically, he never signed up for the race.

I don't know who this guy is nor do I really care for Marathon Investigations...but is it possible this guy thought he switched his bib legitimately? This doesn't come across as someone cheating, this comes across as someone just being naive?
Seriously.
This spring I am hoping to run a big 10k in my state that is sold out. Hoping for a bib transfer from someone who is injured or can't make it.
God help me if there is a problem with the name switch! "Marathon Investigation" will out me as a cheater even while I run the whole distance, like this guy.

Maybe they are a father and daughter(s). Maybe they picked up the bibs as a group and they accidentally pinned the wrong ones on. Is the name prominently displayed underneath the number? Or is it on a sticker somewhere?

People trying to make a living as "influencers" will at best have a fleeting career. Typically they are likely to have to resort to ridiculous sensationalism to get views, likes. Downward spiral of principles follows. This is true of many prominent talk show hosts, also.
Don't waste your energy giving these people an instant of your time. Read factual news and entertain yourself with tfiction. Not fabricated facts

If he ran the full distance, then there is nothing to get anything in a bunch over it. Now using that time to get someone else into Boston would be a problem.

Why does he have to run the full distance?

Yes, he shouldn't have done it. But if it as he says and he was just doing a bib swap with his friend so he could run the race, it is really inappropriate to write an article like this and potentially harm this guy's reputation. Didn't he also run in the same age category/gender as the bib owner? Only put this guy on blast if you have proof that he was acting as a bib mule.

As annoying as Matt can be, I think he's honest and didn't mean any foul play. He trained hard and was going for a 2:50 PR. He certainly would've wanted his PR to officially be under his name.
Matt is 27 and the bib owner is age 30, so different age group.

Is fair play also having someone follow you around on bike the whole race blasting music, randomly cutting through and cutting off spectators and other runners and disrupting others' races, just so you can get some footage? I'm surprised he didn't just run with his selfie stick. That crap should be an automatic DQ.

If he was going for a PR, and a PR of 2:50 specifically; why is it that he ran not one mile at 2:50 pace? Not a single one. He started off near 6:59 ish and the fastest he got was maybe in the 6:30 range.
Seems odd to me that if you're going for a PR of 2:50 that you would start THAT conservative.
