Frank Meza 2:53:10 at LA Marathon (70 years old) unofficial time (just finished)

Help me out.

When he jumps in it looks like he’s going the wrong way. And is there a subsequent photo of him crossing that timing mat?

He was mostly going the wrong way.

This guy pisses me off. Shame on you, Frank.

I mean it's very obvious that he cheated but he is 70 so isn't it just best that we let this one lie as it could cause him undue stress at his age? Is there not an argument that even if false, the illusion can be inspiring for other people to get off the couch and start running?

No?

No, Frank. That isn’t what’s going to happen here.

So is my underwear wrote:

Is it just me, or is his T-shirt on inside out? Also, as someone else pointed out pages ago, look how long his T-shirt is, like it could pretty much cover his bib-belt:

Way to go, Frank! Thumbs-up! Can anyone zoom-in to this picture and see if he's wearing a Garmin after all?

I did that a couple months ago. Just showed the time.

What will happen is absolutely nothing.

A 70 year old dude riding in a Tesla programmed to pick him up a couple of blocks from where it dropped him off is only newsworthy due to Elon Musk’s technological achievements.

An amateur cutting the course in a sport that rivals cycling with respect to elite athletes using PEDs is not news. The number if cheaters in the LAM was probably in the hundreds.

Gotta congratulate Frankie for a job well done.

Is Frank Meza his real name. He should have double letters. Maybe Mezza or Meeza?

Yes, congrats frankie on dishonoring your school, family, and the sport. Rosie is jealous!

No?

1/10

Who can go out and record an informal cheater time trial on the LA course?

With planning, it'd probably only take 3.5 hours or so to pull off, and could account for some cross training if you're using a bike. Probably an even better workout if you can pull it off using a scooter...

Yet here you are posting YOUR opinion about what YOU think will happen AFTER the evidence is out and no excuse in the world will make sense. He broke a world record for his age. He's cheated numerous times and was outed for it.

Are you Frank or his neighbor or a close relative?

Some of you need a life.

Hi Mr Originality, meet someone who thinks just like you

The person who needs a hobby is the guy who has spent 10+ years cheating at road races and triathlons. That's just pathetic.

Yep, but I'm here on LetsRun posting that someone else needs a life. I have no life, that's why I'm here. Kinda ironic, eh?

LoL. Google "Frank Meza" and see what you get. A whole page of sites calling him a cheat and a music video of him cheating.

No he isn't going to publicly shot, but his reputation has been - across the country and no doubt in his own community. Anytime a new patient or an employer or a new acquaintance looks up the guy, their eyebrows are going to disappear towards the back of their neck.

And this is still early days....

Frankie is an SJW? Who knew?

Frank can do it in 2:53:10! If you can’t cheat at least as fast as Frank then what are you going to prove?

Career-wise, he could become a sports medicine consultant. “Doc! Gimme all the EPO, ‘roids, stimulants, painkillers, and Ambien you got!” Drugs not hugs, baby!
