Credit to LAM with doing their homework, and ultimately doing the right thing. Looks like they have an eyewitness beyond what has already been presented here. Also credit for catching the flawed 'Rob Lautz/Rob Lautze' finish.
Congrats to Dan Adams!

After an extensive review of original video evidence from official race cameras and security cameras at retail locations along the race course, Conqur Endurance Group has determined that Dr. Frank Meza violated a number of race rules during the 2019 Skechers Performance Los Angeles Marathon, including re-entering the course from a position other than where he left it. The video evidence is confirmed by a credible eyewitness report and our calculation that Dr. Meza’s actual running time for at least one 5K course segment would have had to have been faster than the current 70-74 age group 5K world-record [an impossible feat during a marathon].
Dr. Frank Meza is disqualified from the 2019 Skechers Performance Los Angeles Marathon.
The revised results for the Men’s 70-74 age group are:
1st - Dan Adams - 4:10:07
2nd - Marek Malolepzy - 4:11:08
3rd - Joe Ogata - 4:25:24
