Is a USATF/IAAF banning on the table for this dude?
I'm not aware of any penalties other than a DQ for course cuttin-cheating. But I wouldn't doubt if they develop something in the next few years.
He will have to run under an alias for a while, if not forever.
It appears more likely than not that he did not run a 3:11. But if you're really going to fudge your time like that, you should be more low-key about it. I wonder how many of the 20,000+ BQualifiers who ran this year's race cheated on their time? Was he the only one?
according to USATF rules, Bretscher should have been disqualified because she did not run three miles of the course, between 18-1/2 and 22-1/2, where the second police officer dropped her back on the course. But realizing the wrong turn and resultant squad car hopping was their mistake, organizers not only awarded Bretscher the $500 first prize, they offered to pay her entry, travel and lodging to the future marathon of her choosing, Rock ‘n’ Roll product or not.Competitor Group’s director of public relations, Dan Cruz, tweeted that the incident was “pretty embarrassing for us.”

I interrupt this thread to say that I knew the author of an article linked in the Bleacherreport article. Small world. Other than that my lips are sealed.
Are folks who work at Bleacherreport or Deadspin "authors?"For the most part, they are just very good at finding, cutting, pasting & reformattingI could be wrong
I don't understand this. Did this person have a response at all? Or just..did she just get caught cheating?I don't get cheating. I just don't understand it.
Speaking of cheats....does anyone know if Liza Hunter-Galvan actually received the $10,000 from BAA?
Yeah I get that feed on my page and read that. There wasn't anything more printed in the local paper.
