Emailed the ebay link to BAA. If they didn't know before, they know now.

Wow, you guys are AWESOME. Glad you have nothing better to do than rat this guy out to the BAA.

get a life guys.

"To qualify for the 112th Boston Marathon, athletes must meet the designated time standard which corresponds to their age group. Qualifying times must be run on or after September 23, 2006.

Seeding is based on qualifying times, which are subject to review and verification. All participants must adhere to the guidelines set forth by the B.A.A., USA Track and Field or foreign equivalent, International Paralympic Committee, Wheelchair Sports, USA, Disabled Sports, USA, and the United States Association for Blind Athletes.

Qualifying times must be met in competitions observing these same rules. Proof of qualification must accompany the application. Participants must be 18 years or older on race day."

Mikey is not following the rules.

I'd hit his old lady.

How much for her?

Still drunk

good job driving the price up. Someone with zero feedback just bid it up over $26.

I am APPALLED by the actions of Mike Aldrink. What he has done cannot be allowed. I suggest that as punishment he be stripped of his victory at December's Charlotte Marathon. The fact that this would make me the overall male champion has nothing to do with it. I am appealing to all LetsRunners to band together to support punishing this rogue roadster, and please no commments about being beat by a chick.

Agree.

hmm..

Ok,

Those of you that think it's no big deal that there may be someone out there auctioning off his bib number; what is your stance/opinion on charity runners? Does it bother you that some 4 hour marathoner may be lining up in the first corral?

Charity runners start at the very back of the second wave.

I think it's over the top to do this.

Agree. I bet these are the same guys that whine about penguins taking up too many spots in a marathon, but when someone wants to break the rules they agreed to, it's somehow OK and anyone that questions it needs to get a life.

seriously guys, I'm sorry that your lives are so empty that you feel you must rat this guy like this.

Nice April Fool's joke on your buddy--very elaborate.

Well done!
