This whole thing is strange. It’s looks like Frank Meza has completed other short distance races at about 6:45 per minute pace, which is a very fast pace for an older runner.
The results are easily found on the internet. So I’m not sure why Derek has intentionally omitted this information. Perhaps because it undermines his investigation? Makes you wonder if there is something behind the decision to only present a limited set of race results.

1. The evidence is incontrovertible that he cheated ("allegedly") in 2 marathons (probably many more based on posts herein) one of which HE claims to be the fastest 70 year old EVER ! Isn't that enough?
2. and, OK, I'll take the bait: those times do not translate into a 2:53 marathon time run run AFTER those races.
....and of course, conveniently, there's NO GPS --garmin and, or strava -- to back up those performances up either so you've unwittingly and possibly highlighted more cheating by (you?) Frank. If there is, post it here or send to Derek. Or keep it for the running trial.
