Another Serial Cheater taken down by Race Buster and Marathon Investigation!

I posted my follow up:

https://www.marathoninvestigation.com/2018/07/pacer-accused-removed-results.html

How many marathons have been attacked by Muslim terrorists?

That's what made Boston famous.

Wearing a $500 GPS watch but not saving your runs, c'mon?

Just ask to get access to his Garmin account.

And he wants to remove his name from the 2018 Boston results but intends to run the 2019 Boston marathon, I wonder what the BAA folks will think of that?

Ed, your 2018 Mesa-Phoenix result is very suspicious as well, it leaves a lot of room for doubt, why don't you "sacrifice" that race?

It is more suspicious IMO. 1:28 first half, and you've got that picture of him at the end...that doesn't look like a bigger dude that just ran a 1:28 half-marathon, let alone a guy that ran a 1:28 half-marathon presumably exploded a little and then brought home a 1:50 second half.

Why would you sacrifice the race and your Boston finish....that makes no sense. Even if you somehow lost the race-files (both of them?), no one has a watch like that, trains for 3:11, 3:18 marathons, and keeps no record of their training. If it was me, and I really believed that I was innocent, I would go over all of that with Derek and let him help me prove it. How about just one friend he went with a run with over the last 3 years that would come out and say: "Yeah, me and Ed knocked out a 10K or some intervals and here was the pace I had..." Or, "I saw Ed on the course, looking strong!" I mean think about how many Phoenix based athletes Ed would have been passing/flying by if he started 11 minutes late and was crushing 6:44 minute miles!!! (the answer is approximately 1500 total athletes just by the half-way point alone!).

The 1:28 half is clearly not realistic. He has shown no proof of ability. Asking to be removed instead of proving innocence is the same as guilt. Any of us, absent of Garmin data, could produce 10 notarized affidavits from training partners, competitors and others backing our ability and efforts.

He can’t and instead of trying is now asking to be given a charity(essentially)entry into Boston. No doubt he will train his ass off to try and show that he belongs. He won’t run within 10 mins of 3:18 at Boston or anywhere else.

I'd like to see an analysis of why age groupers cheat.

Here it is:

Ego.

Zero % chance he didn't cheat. The evidence to anyone that runs is irrefutable, then throw in his reaction to the assertion, very much like Mr. Rossi's, that of "douth protest too much", or whatever that saying is. If I were accused of cheating, I'd mostly laugh, then prove I didn't cheat based on race results, across all distances, and of course the good ol' watch! Only at that point in time would I go "sherman's march to the sea" on the accuser and destroy their credibility.

1:28 half-marathon

There is no way that fella at his age and size could run a 1:28 half, even in a certified fast half marathon race.

Time for the Brojo's to stump up the cash, à la the Rossi challenge.

LR now defends Rossi, ipso facto deleting many Rossi related posts. I doubt they will ever step up again in such a fashion.

Sure would have liked to see the ante upped to a cool million. Would have been a ton of exposure for "The World Famous Message Board." Except they would delete all the posts as they have done time and time again.

Good. That horse is dead.

"I’m a marathoner and a Ironman athlete. It’s more important to me to ensure that I am healthy and at peace to keep participating in both these sports, which I dearly love and respect. At 50 years of age, the opportunities become less and less. God has a plan, and He will guide me to the next challenge and victory."

anyone checked his ironman stuff?

Ugh. The only thing worse than a fraud is a fraud that hides behind his religion.

He has fairly strong and very consistent times over a variety of triathlon courses and distances.

His marathon time consistency at Ironman Arizona is really impressive.

2011 -- 4:20:12

2014 -- 4:21:03
