This should be handled within the running community but not affect the rest of her life. It's only hobby jogging after all...

it is only cheating after all, right?

If George Bush cannot be prosecuted for war crimes, I see no reason why we can't forgive Seo.

Yes, and it should be treated as such. Delete her results, throw her off the team etc. But leave the rest of her life out of it.

I believe she was the one who brought running into her professional life via her Huffington Post blog. She's the one who made it about more than just running.

Trump's fault

When does the way a person behaves tell you anything about their personality? Since she was caught cheating and lying and creating fake evidence for a race - to you, that only gives you very limited information about her as a runner? Really? Nothing about that is indicative of her personality to you?

Ok. In what circumstances would she need to cheat, lie and fabricate evidence before you would be willing to think she was the sort of person who would cheat, lie and fabricate evidence?

She had the opportunity to do the right thing when the timer called her on the invalid result. She could have accepted that, not claimed second place, and not had her cheating story go viral. But she pressed it.

A quick google search shows the article on:

Washington Post

BBC

USA Today

NY Post

Miami New TImes

Miami Herald

Deadspin

Competitor.com

She has no one to blame but herself.

Nice sentiment, but the horse has bolted, even main stream media across the world are fleshing out their reports with details about "the rest of her life", Google her name and there's pages of it.

How could an apparently intelligent person involved in the media do such a thing and not expect repercussions if caught? Worse still, try and cover it up.

Just amazing, I'm totally flummoxed.

At least the guy who eventually marries her can't complain when she cheats on him.

Huffington Post won't be complaining about the worldwide publicity for their site and all the extra hits to it.

She doesn't work there anymore. Her last blog entry was 2015. What a waste of a Harvard degree. Blogging for an online rag and now nothing.

This was from the timing guy. Apologies if someone posted this here.

Women's Running are pretending to do the right thing:

"Women’s Running covered this event via our Instagram account and, upon finding out about this incident from various sources, immediately removed all photos pertaining to this runner. Thank you to the runners who alerted us."

but name her and post links to Marathon Investigation and Miami New Times.

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

+1.

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.
