I've created a bunch of segments on Strava and I have noticed that a few runners have times that are faster than what their race times suggest they are capable of. When I confronted one of them, they told me nonchalantly "Oh I biked through it so I could be 1st on the leaderboard!" This is sickening behavior!

you can always flag suspicious entries. I feel like a jerk when doing it, but when a KOM clearly was on a bike (turning 4:16 miles for 5 miles for example) I'll flag it. It then disappears from the leaderboard.
I don't think people do it on purpose tho - I think it is just error.
And it seems to me that the problem is receeding - not sure if strava is scrubbing the results themselves or if there is a mass flagging movement.
