I am not of the few vocal minority here who sympathizes with the person who cheated. Marathons are shared, sacred experiences organized by a community of volunteers. The marathoninvestigation.com author is protecting that which is sacred and shared among the running community. That is a noble cause and worth commending.
- flocial 10y agoI agree but perhaps it's because the majority of apologists do not truly appreciate the challenges of running such races that they place a higher value on an amateur runner's privacy than the results of an arbitrary running event being skewed by a cheater.
- Fraztastic 10y agoDifficulty doesn't make things 'sacred' unless you're obsessed & delusional. It would be difficult to stand on one-leg for 40 hours but it would also be pointless & stupid, not 'sacred'.
