I really don't see what the fuss is about. They could disqualify the two, but it's still going to be in the news as a positive thing and can only look bad on the race (it was on the radio here in Houston one morning). The "3rd place" finisher might get listed as the winner in that case, but he's never going to get near the recognition of the DQ'd guy. The second place guy could have just gone on to win, but instead, he's getting a lot more attention out of what he did than any 1st place trophy would garner (and he might have come off as an ass otherwise). Plus, he proved that he was the fastest guy out there even carrying another guy that last bit of the course (even if he has 2nd next to his name and is saying the other guy "ran a better race", everyone knows the deal). So what's the guy really losing. Besides just doing something he felt morally compelled to do, he's now a "feel good story of the day" celebrity.
Totall agree, But as usual, some want to take a very positive story and somehow make it about cheating, negative, you name it
