I'm glad Miami looked at the splits, recognized the reality, and issued a DQ. I particularly admire them officially branding the DQ on the results, not just scrubbing his name from the results! Well done, if more races did this, more hobby jogger cheaters would think twice. Hopefully the rightful age group winner and the other top 2-3 will get their medal/mug/whatever they get for AG place.
Its a shame Ria just couldn't do the same with Rossi. I would assume given that the Rossi thread is still alive (though I don't read it much anymore) that both Via and Rossi kinda wish they'd handled things differently.
Of course, think back on that Badwater cheater Parvenah Moyadhi or however you spell her name. She never got DQd for obvious sheninigans, and probably still calls her self a Badwater finisher.
Maybe 10 yrs from now Rossi will get to enjoy his fake BQ in peace.
But for now, one cheater is down, well done all.
And yes, fingers crossed that this DQ will prohibit him from using this time for Boston.
