Yeah for the article...
I hope the writer/editor are runners.
If not, it'll likely be wishy washy and non committal that he clearly cheated.
It was piss weak, wishy washy and non committal when Canadian Runner covered it.

We can speculate like everyone did with the anticipation of the Mueller Report. Did Frank collude with others? Did he obstruct the place of the rightful winner? He certainly wasn’t Russian to the finish line based on all the pics and videos.

Should be early editions and maybe available on- line sooner.

The LA Times article is online:
https://www.latimes.com/sports/la-sp-marathon-cheating-allegations-frank-meza-20190621-story.html
"For this year’s L.A. Marathon, the investigator studied photographs that showed Meza emerging from the sidewalk to rejoin the pack along Hollywood Boulevard.
Race officials started looking at the same images weeks ago. They are in the process of disqualifying Meza, but have not finalized the decision, according to a person with knowledge of the situation who was not authorized by the marathon to speak to the media."
Good article. Frank nowhere near denying. Claims he'll show us all at his next marathon....
“With them, he is guilty until proven innocent,” Diaz says. “The burden should be on them to say this is irrefutable, this is what you did and we caught you. Why is the burden on him?”
Err Diaz, have you checked out marathoninvestigation.com?
Very fair and balanced article. The accused is going to let the coverage subside. Obviously, he won't run a race with an observer. He's got a pretty large ego and thinks he's pretty slick. He's cocky enough to undoubtedly race again when he thinks no one is watching.
'Diaz says: “It’s disturbing because he is so respected in our community … you look at Dr. Frank Meza, could this have happened? I don’t see it.”
Err Diaz, have you checked out marathoninvestigation.com?
Very weak article, doesn’t go into his on- line discussions of his word record pace while simultaneously taking breaks and jumping in and out of the course.
Looking forward to his next marathon
"“I don’t know what else I can do,” he says. "
I do, come clean, because it's only going to get a whole lot worse from here.

I've reached my monthly free article limit for the L.A. Times, so I have a decision to make. I mean, I don't mind the 99-cent charge for 13 weeks of articles, but that automatic renewal feature gets my goat.

Ten years or more of cheating...

Good grief, are you awake?
Most people come away thinking there is very little evidence that he cheated, but a bunch of anonymous whack jobs are abusing him.
How about a mention that Frank supposedly ran a marathon faster than any 70 year old in history while wandering down sidewalks looking for a place to pee.
He’ll never run with an observer, but he knows it makes him look good to claim he will.
Frank - how about run a 10k at 2:52 marathon pace...immediately? Prove yourself you lying fraud.

Diaz, this is saying "irrefutable":
“At this point,” Murphy says, “I have no doubt.”

Huh? Frank nowhere near denying ... what does that mean?
And the article is a joke.
At least the article states that LA Marathon is reviewing a possible DQ.
