Looks like she gave her bib to someone else who ran a slow 2:07 half.

Many runners now know what it is to 'Rossi' a race. I think Jane has earned a special level of deceit by going to the trouble of biking the route to create false GPS stats. I propose she 'Seo'd' the course but there is something better. The proper definition would account for doing it ineptly as in forgetting about cadence or some other factor.

Robert Young biked portions of his transcon last summer.
Say it ain't Seo, Jane.
She is a SEO expert!
More lies, what a surprise!
Story is going viral.

YOU DONT EVEN KNOW HER and WHY DO YOU CARE SO MUCH?
OH YES, all you guys with asian fetishes are obviously knocking on her.
SERIOUSLY STOP, she has a life and a future. This thread will ruin her potential prospects in terms of Employers and her future relationships
PLEASE CLOSE THIS THREAD
I wasn't going to be that guy but I'm going to put you in your place.
Wait false assumptions, there is proof here that she had cheated(I don't have to go into details), facts are facts.
2nd off, people care because she cheated and ousted some one out of there rightfully earned 2nd place finish. She tried to cover it up and she lied to peoples faces.
Another thing, is she did this to her self, if she can get caught up in moment what else is she lying about.
The fact that she is Asian has nothing to do with this, so don't be bringing the Asian card into to play, no one is buying it at all.
As it effecting further employment/relationships, well that's on her, did she lie to.get through school as well?
So many unanswered questions. I could keep ranting on and on but I'm not gonna waste my time
Time to check her thesis for plagiarism!

Funny, I was doing exactly the same thing now.
http://www.undergraduatelibrary.org/system/files/2879.pdfWow, do you losers not have anything btter to do than harass this woman?
It really makes one think whom really has a problem. Your behavior is worse than hers.
No. I think you are the one with the problem if you think that intentionally cheating in a race, knowingly stepping on the podium and accepting a prize, willfully creating a cover-up with a later garmin bike ride and then continually lying until presented with overwhelming damning evidence is WORSE than shaming such behavior online. If there were more people like the ones you complain about and less like you, we probably would see less cheating.
Dang. She says she averaged 100-110 MPW in her build up for NYC 2016 in this DW blog post. Derek, the blogger who busted her, said this performance "appears to be legitimate."

"RACE PREP
I didn’t sign up for the NYC Marathon until early August when I found out there was a couple extra spots for the team. To be honest, I never really had the desire to run a marathon—I’ve heard countless stories of people being injured during training, it was really expensive and time-consuming, and, given my competitive spirit, the distance felt too long to call a “race.†Nonetheless, I put on my #YOLO hat and decided to go for it.
I was in between jobs this summer, so had a lot of spare time to essentially train like an elite athlete. On a typical day, I took two back-to-back spin classes as a “warm up†in the morning and then went for a 7-8 mile run. In the afternoon, I did some stretching and got treated by Russ (a fellow Whippet!) at Runner Clinic for my plantar fasciitis. In the evening, I did another spin class and ran 10 miles or so afterward. At the peak of my training, I was averaging 100-110 miles a week. While I built up my endurance and was probably in the best shape of my life, I wouldn’t recommend my training regime—again, I was in a unique situation with a ton of free time during my month off from work.
Having run 3 consecutive 20-mile long runs and logged 80-110 miles/week for 9 weeks, my body felt physically ready for the marathon. Yet, I still had doubts. What if I “hit the wall†and never recover? What if I get bad cramps? Would I even be able to cross the finish line?
And before I knew it, I was on a bus to Verrazano Bridge on Marathon Day."
Just thought it was interesting. Her behavior is mind-bending to me.

This is correct. The classic crime equation is: if the benefit of the crime outweighs the potential cost, there is more likely a chance that the crime will occur.
People cheat on things because today's society has gotten so soft that all you need to do is say "oh, I'm sorry" and it's forgiven. Cheating is getting worse and worse. If people start to see that the benefits DON'T outweigh the potential cost, then people will think twice in the future about cheating.
Anyone who tells the letsrun posters that they shouldn't get involved are essentially supporting all future cheaters.

Careful - I think that might be a different Jane Seo - I believe that there's two of them - only one is a runner.

Here's the one thing that really stands out to me about that race report - I seem to remember that everyone who ran NYC that day talked about how the wind was a factor. Why does she not mention it at all?
The race report just has a very odd feel to it. I agree that the NYC performance was likely real - there's pictures of her all over the course with the right bib on, and NYC took splits each mile.
The race report still reads odd.
Impressive work by Derek.
Well, you know you're in trouble when the Washington Post and NY Post both run stories...
I am happy that these cheaters get caught and disqualified. I don't love the degree to which some people online try to make the rest of their lives miserable afterwards (not Derek, who does good work).
"Here's the one thing that really stands out to me about that race report - I seem to remember that everyone who ran NYC that day talked about how the wind was a factor. Why does she not mention it at all?"
Not to defend her, She's a cheat. I find it peculiar that many runners complain of wind or hills and such in their reports. It makes me think they only run inside on treadmills. Get your asses outside in the weather and hit the hills. Windy runs aren't like biking in the wind FFS. NYC was windy that day. Perhaps she wasn't bothered (if she ran).
No one complained about the wind at Boston in 2011 ;-)

Nope, unless the other Jane also removed her LinkedIn profile...
