Greg, this is exactly why a lot of us are calling for doubler to give us the names of all 400 cheaters. Just saying there are hundreds of cheaters does nothing to stop the cheating. If there is 100% chance they cheated, they need to know we know. It's called a deterrent.

To those on the site complaining of doubler's "public shaming" of those suspected of blatant cheating, do not forget that many of the suspected cheaters brought the attention to themselves by crowing about their coveted BQs on social media, blogs, websites etc. As someone else put it, they are getting the attention they crave but not the desired type of attention. All doubler does is put publically accessible information out there and asks them to explain the results. He does not name call etc.
I think calling out those who not so humbly brag about their running accomplishments is fair game if those accomplishments are questionable. Making someone think twice about cheating in a race is fine by me. Quietly having them dq'd does nothing. And more often than not it works - some have admitted, some have been dq'd. Did Litton and Rossi deserve their fates? I think so.
The cheating epidemic is fascinatingly entertaining, pathetic, and a very interesting phenomenon of narcissism. I look forward to reading more on his site and this one.
