Let's Run sleuths needed....Chickamauga Marathon Winner Disqualified

Wow, looking at the Atlinks run down she's been cheating for some time. How does someone who regularly runs 11, 12,13, 14 PLUS minute miles every once in a while run 8?

Man, as I keep coming back to this thread, there's one thing I'm absolutely blown away by: The fact that she is actually arguing that she could have run a sub-3 hour marathon.

Come. On. Now.

And while it does seem as though she's lost some weight:

Come on.

Not quite as willing to show off as Anne Gemkow was at her 2014 Long Beach International Marathon run, from which she was later disqualified after cutting the course (she cut after crossing the mat at 13 and jumped ahead to mile 23 with a left turn on the figure 8 course)

Can the mods clean up this thread by deleting the Boy Scout reunion?

Focus, people.

When you google image her, or check her other race cheating photos via athlinks and the thread on her, they are all like that.

The one thing these cheaters all seem to have in common is that they're all look at me narcissists looking for a little glory, sad really.

I crown Tabatha Hamilton- the 2014 winner of the Kip Litton Award- for excellence in cheating. Congrats. Who will this prestigious award in 2015?

This article really gets down to the fine details of the matter:

Pity they didn't put up a picture of Hamilton next to that of Gilmer, probably would have pushed the point home, one a genuine honest distance runner the other a wannabe.

So yes you're right, I do nothing for my running community and I'm a moron.

Hey, don´t bother. "my name is judge" is most likely a typical LR poster: an immature HS kid who´s favourite hobby is jerking of in his mom´s basement.

Tabatha was at a Trenton church about 6 weeks ago asking for money because she claims she has cancer and has started radiation treatments. I am thinking if she is taking radiation treatments she would not be attempting to run a race or have the energy to even attempt to cheat! Cheating on a race is not the only thing she is fibbing on!!!

What a mockery you all make of the sport of athletics. Imagine if letshoop.com had a thread obsessing about some obscure high school basketball team cheating. No, basketball players have better things to do than harp on things like that.

The one where you dug up the paralympian's fudged times is even stupider. Who would have even heard those fibs if you weren't going to such efforts to publicize them? Do you suppose there aren't thousands of other liars and cheaters out there right now that nobody will ever know or give a shit about unless your outrage machine stumbles upon them?

Is it not, rather, the act of achieving that state of nirvanic dudgeon that makes you sniff out and flock to these stories like flies to a turd? You are just news junkies getting your daily fix of moral high ground, your Two Minutes Hate. Which is ok by itself, but don't act like you're doing it in the name of your beloved sport, or you're a damn liar just like the people you're in such a snit about.

Wow! If this is true, I really hope people don't give her any money. People who lie about an illness and take advantage of generous people are horrible.

Well Wiggie...

Tell us about the time you cheated. It's ok, you can tell letsrun, you need to let it out and not keep it bottled up inside you until you explode.

Any evidence to support this claim?

For some reason the word 'hypocrite' comes to mind:

hyp-o-crite

noun

1. a person who pretends to have virtues, moral or religious beliefs, principles, etc., that he or she does not actually possess, especially a person whose actions belie stated beliefs.

2. a person who feigns some desirable or publicly approved attitude, especially one whose private life, opinions, or statements belie his or her public statements.

Trying to justify the ridiculously fast second half was an easily-falsifiable lie. A bluff hardly worthy of middle school. She should have said that she has been training hard lately, ran even splits and that the timing must have malfunctioned. Not saying she would have been successful, but least more reasonable and harder to disprove.

Actually I do. She used the website, youcaring.com. She was trying to raise 16,000 for surgery because chemo was not working. I have the flyer that she brought by the church and a picture of the ad from youcaring. I am not sure how to post that on here though. I tried to find the link from the site but it appears to have been taken down.
