They wouldn't have done that if it were a white male.

Did you release that statement from the timing guy because you've been getting heat from certain quarters? It does seem to have gone world wide.
I spoke with him twice before the article. Initially he didn't want me to quote him directly. So in the article I left these details out. But he essentially relayed that exact information to me. Before she admitted to the cutting they were advised to not comment publicly. He posted this on FB sometime after my article was posted.

Yet this website thought it was a non-story unfair to the runner and deleted all threads about it the before it hit the mainstream press. That's what disappointed me the most. Running news site should have covered it.

Added a few more. I'm doing a couple more interviews tomorrow and maybe one or 2 podcasts.
I liked this article..
https://theringer.com/to-catch-a-marathoner-d92a599d4bc2One thing that baffles me is unless she is out of shape since NYC or the hot weather was a major factor, 1:24 for her should have been within her reach. Maybe even 1:23 I would think she could have ran. Was there a mandate as to she must run 1:24 or faster on this race or month to make the "elite" team? And if that was the case, why chose a 1/2 marathon in the hottest part of the country. I would just run one in NE where she is from.
But in the end, she brought this all on herself. All for nothing. She cheated for a place in a no name race for a time that she could have ran. With young kids these days, you live and die by social media.
I don't follow message board for a day and this explodes. Story has all the sizzle to end up being a made for TV movie. Attractive Harvard grad, introverted dogged investigator, the cover up , the race picture as the smoking gun. All the posts saying she apologized and the thread should be deleted is a novel touch. Usually, the perp tries to defend the scam. I'd like to see Jack Black as Derek Doubler , Lucy Liu as Jane Seo. Maybe a cameo by William Shatner as Mike Rossi, and Johnny Galecki as Wejo.
I also like Rosie O'Donnell as DashingDiva
I'd rather not see Rosie O'Donnell...period.

I don't want to live in country where you can't make fun of someone because of their gender,ethnicity,college education, and occupation. Also, if they cheat in running and use social media to promote themselves then they ate fair game for ridicule and other forms of mental stress.
This is one reason Trump is my favorite president because he calls it like he sees it. No PC filter is very refreshing.
Yes, very good work, Doubler. I appreciate your efforts. I kicked in $25 last night at your site.
This course is known to be easy for cutting. That is why she chose to run in the heat. Usually you can cut it more than a mile and a half. She really had this planned out, IMO. She cut it exactly where she needed to get right under 1:24. I'm surprised she got called out for the splits. Usually they don't really question anyone.
That's true.

Um, usually 2nd place overall doesn't cut the course. And usually 2nd place is more significant that age group awards. They don't have time to catch everyone, but top three overall will always be scrutinized.

How? Are you saying she's is less repulsive now? (I mean that in the moral sense. Physically, she is blindingly attractive and I would like to take her out to dinner.)

Huh? I don't want to put words in his mouth, but I took it the other way.
Her comeback for the bike ride should have been:
"Yes, I did cycle the course later that afternoon. I was using a bike equipped with a Jones Counter. I thought the course was bit short based on my watch, and wanted to make sure it was legit. I accidentally chose the wrong activity in Strava".
The girl is a decent runner and know she is famous, other running groups are reaching out, especially those that have an aggressive micro-dosing approach
Good work and good video included with the article Doubler, but can I suggest one thing if you're going to be a media personality, you ditch the Kim Jong Un type hair style, get your wife to cut it instead of the kids.

The fact that she didn't disable her heart rate or cadence indicates she is a few points shy of MENSA status.
