I'm breaking my rule: Second Kip Litton Thread - Can someone please tell me what's up?

I saw someone matching Kip's description running the Chicago marathon. He looked just like the pictures I've seen on here - hat, sunglasses, concealed bib, the whole bit. I saw him cross the mat at halfway just ahead of the 3:00 pace group and then he disappeared off the course. If it was really him, then he may be practicing for a comeback. On the other hand, it could've been another cheater with a similar MO, so who knows?

Hopefully Rojo is studying some IP addresses to find if a set are coming from Davison or Clarkston.

I saw the Pawn Stars episode where Kip was on there trying to sell his medals and awards. Pretty funny when the authenticator came on and said that they were all reproductions and fake. Kip cried in ChumLee's arms as it went to commercial. Great stuff.

I liked the gold pants episode better where the guy was trying to unload that worthless crap that he received for doing a few bad tattoos.

If it's so important to you, why don't you look it up yourself knucklehead? What a dumb post jhfds...blah, blah, blah.

It's my hope Rojo will report on IP addresses of the mysterious posts in favor of Litton

What has been lost in all these dubious accusations is the fact that none of them will change any of the following:

1) Kip is very wealthy

2) Kip has a gorgeous sexy as hell wife

3) Kip is still known as a pillar of the community

4) Kip continues to be voted the #1 dentist

5) Kip is a top athlete

6) Kip's friends love him & his family

7) Kip's friends are aware that this crap was all a hoax

8) Kip has great kids who are top athletes

No, not a hoax, a lie. Cheating other runners out of their rightful place in their age group. Dishonorable.

I secretly hope that this is the greatest troll of all time and it all a hoax. No Kip, no marathons, all some letsrun computer need in his Mom's basement and a couple of buddies dressing up.

It would be the Jason Rexing of 5k's!

You know, although a lot of these defenses are clearly written by the same person (given the style, manner, etc.), these might be written by different people employed to defend Kip. I listen to NPR a lot and some of their programming in my area is underwritten by a company involved in protecting people's and companies' online reputation. Perhaps that is what is going on here. I am interested in seeing how this plays out.

I think you nailed it. The posts remind me a bit of the ones about a certain TDF cyclist before a confession was made. Compare the IPs with those from the TDF cyclist's apologists (before confession).

Sure dude, where are all the witnesses who saw him flying by them as he would have if he actually had ran the whole way and started at the back of the pack? Why is not one person who ran coming forward that they saw him blow by but instead only runners who came up on him and passed him???

He beat me at Gasparilla and apparently was ahead of me by under 30 seconds. No way he passed me in the last mile. Hell I don't remember _anyone passing me in the last mile for that matter. IIRC there were four picture points after the turnaround that year and one either from the overpass or a small raised crane deal. I may need to dig through pictures now.

Let's not forget, before his injury, Kip was one of the best masters runners in Michigan. Kip may never run exceptional times again, but as a fan of distance running, I'll always treasure his many amazing performances.

REALLY? Amazing. And so at least a half dozen of the runners that finished around him ran with him for about 5 miles of the 15k and have come forward to say that they remember him? Oh that's right, they didn't. You have no pictures, you are a liar and you know it. Your pictures don't exist and neither do you.

This thread is beyond pointless. Time to pull the plug.

I have the great satisfaction to have raced ol' Kip in Boston 2010 and kicked his cheating dishonest sociopath ass. Suck it Kipper!

For me, the most glaring admission of Kip's cheating has been his complete silence on this issue. If Kip felt that he was being defamed, libeled or slandered on this website, the other websites or in the New Yorker article, he certainly would have brought suit to defend his good name.

Instead it's been nothing but crickets chirping on his part and the answer is simple: he knows that if he did bring a lawsuit, he would be required to testify under oath about this entire issue. Kip would have to sit there and answer all of the questions about his suspect performance that have filled hundreds of pages on this message board. He would never put himself in this position though because none of his excuses are credible. Everything would be fair game and open to discovery and there is no way he comes out clean.

There is no doubt in my mind that he cheated on multiple occasions. There is also no doubt in my mind that he will never do anything other than post under aliases in an effort to cast doubt on the fraud he has committed on the running community.

Actually, it was the 5K. It dropped 20 degrees in the two days before and was in the low 40s, and started raining just before the gun. It was freezing. That was the year where they made an S in the course on brick cobblestones to get out onto Bayshore. They were slippery as hell.

For anyone who has read the entire Kip Litton thread, you'd know that there was one point where someone mentioned a rumor that Kip had been disciplined at his med school for cheating. We should investigate this more.
