Unbelievable response from Scott Overall of the London Marathon saying Dave Reading is innocent. Is Scott Overall connected to Dave Reading personally? Something is very suspicious here about the London Marathon organization and I don't like it.
Sleuths, we need to investigate again.
Hi Andy,
Thank you for your email to my personal website.
The information you have provided has already been looked at in 2016, and again this year when someone else messaged me. I kindly asked that he email my work address, however this never happened. Instead I got a rather rude tone and demands that “I must ban David Reading from the London Marathonâ€. Please note the information about the missing splits and photographs are from our own website, there is nothing there that we didn’t already know.
The London Marathon has processes in place to deal with runners who have missing splits from the timing mats and this matter had already been dealt with.
We have been in contact with David directly and he has provided sufficient evidence that he completed the London Marathon in 2016 and therefore there is no reason to ban this individual.
Kind regards
Scott
Scott Overall | Entry Coordinator
WTF.
HOW can he possibly have provided evidence he ran the marathon when he didn't?
No splits. No photos of him. And he couldn't possibly have provided Garmin data to match the exact time, unless Reading or one of his cronies created fake data? Surely Scott would be able to suss faked data?
I really want to know what this "evidence" was he supplied.
