I had no idea Rojo had testicular cancer. Sorry Bro.

I know that Kip cheated, but I'm starting to doubt that there is a writer since you and Scott Hubbard are so reluctant to give out even a glint of information.
Put up or shut up. Same goes for scotth.

This isn't from the writer, but some communication with ROJO that goes way back to January, 2011.

"Good news guys! I just received an email from Robert Johnson (rojo) from LetsRun.com, in response to several repeat posts I'd made about the deletions (the "Rojo & Wejo - please read this..." threads). Anyway, here is what he said:
------
I was not aware that all of the Litton threads were being deleted. I think exposing his cheating is a good thing.
I have asked our moderator to not delete Kip Litton threads. That being said, I think there should only be one Kip Litton Thread. If my brother were in the country, i'd put back up the original thread. I have no idea who keeps posting them over and over. It's driving me nut.
Maybe I'l start an official kip litton thread.

This was my reply to him:
----------
Dear Coach Johnson,
Thank you very much for the reply. I don’t know you, but I had a suspicion that you might be unaware of what was going on. That was the only thing that made sense.
I agree with you about only having one main Kip Litton thread. I like the idea of you starting one. I’d suggest you mention that 1.) that you were unaware they were being deleted, and 2.) request that everyone keep it to that thread as much as possible. I imagine most people will respect your wishes. I know I certainly will. My guess is that the multiple threads/repeated posts was a direct result of people’s frustration from the deleted threads with no explanation. As soon as you post something to that effect, I bet much of the frustration goes away.
Maybe once your brother returns, you could put back up the original thread and just link to it from the one you start now? There was a TON of good research in that previous thread, and it would save people a lot of rehashing. Just a suggestion.
Anyway, thanks again for the followup. Please let me know if I can do anything, or if you’d rather me start the “official Kip Litton” thread.
All the best,

Even though it's been 18months since Kip last raced (Charlotte ThunderRoad), many of you are aware that he was registered for the 2012 Boston marathon, using Charlotte as a BQ. Many of us including the writer werent sure if he'd be running or not, but the point is you must realize that even as of this past April pieces of this story were still ongoing...
So you are claiming that someone blew $150 or whatever the entry fee is ? I think people forget that trolling is free, race entries aren't.

Looks like you need to some fact checking yourself. Dr. Litton did not register himself for Boston and obviously never had any intent to run it.
You are correct that pieces of this bizarre story of creepy obsession by you and others is ongoing. That should be the basis for any article written about this episode.
A) You know this as fact because You are Kip Litton.

it is hard to believe that the kipster would register for boston when he had not run in like 18 months, there was a huge active thread about him, and it was known that there was an article in a national magazine being written about him.

It might be hard to believe but someone throwing away $150 for no purpose at all is way harder to believe so the old Sherlock Holmes adage applies.

It doesn't matter what is harder to believe. Dr. Litton did not register for Boston. It is not conjecture. It is fact.

Facts require evidence.

Yes. Yes, they do. I have it. Feel free to contact the BAA as well.

I'm sorry, "evidence" doesn't mean claiming to have it, anyone can do that. When I have entered races that have a qualifying standard requirement I have had to provide documentary evidence of meeting that standard that wasn't a URL to race results. Why would race authorities have knowingly allowed a bogus entry? Why would anyone throw away $150 for no reason?

If there is a writer, I'm sure his/her fact checking will include this tidbit. Perhaps this is what is causing this massive delay in the release of the article. The writer is making a pivot and the focus will be on the obsession people have for this man. People spending countless hours pouring through race results and online photos, anonymous strangers making personal attacks against the man and his family, and the very scary nature of scotth going as far as creating a website about Dr. Litton and waiting in the bushes outside his office all day just to get a glimpse of him.
