A careful reading, especially to the end, shows that the writer is certain that Meza cheated. And yet respects and has empathy for him and his family, despite that.
Meza was much more than his worst moment, as are we all.
- daniel-cussen 5y agoI read other sources too, one in Spanish about it. It should not take a careful reading to conclude the guy cheated, it's plain as day, the marathons declared him a cheater, in this article it says Meza's times were practically but not literally impossible when others declared it wasn't practically but rather literally impossible. Maybe I'm being too hard on him in reaction to how soft the article is, it might have been senility.
- rendall 5y ago> it might have been senility The article mentions 3 or 4 things it could have been. We will never know, because this man is dead, and cannot say.
- Werewolf255 5y agoIn the end, you're arguing in favor of removing people from society, forcefully if needed, if they are suspected of or have cheated at running a marathon without any other considerations. And like, is that what you're really wanting to argue?
- rendall 5y ago> should not take a careful reading to conclude the guy cheated, it's plain as day By "careful reading" I meant "not careless reading". No one who paid reasonable attention while reading the article would leave with anything other than the "plain as day" conclusion that Meza cheated. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
