Ultramarathoner Disqualified For Accepting Car Ride During Race

Time for MI to go look at past results ? 🤔

haha yeah. That wasn’t a mistake. It’s black and white, you’re either that way inclined or you’re not. She’s cheated before.

So which race/s do you think are suspect, looking at her race history?

I can see one course which stands out as a race being logistically the simplest to cheat, but following the live check point timing results online at the time, Joasia’s course record for that race didn’t raise a red flag for me. And years later it still doesn’t. Just an exceptionally well executed race by a highly talented runner, which is invariably characteristic of record performances.

Contradicting myself here, but perhaps this race was a one-off. Maybe she’s not a cheat and it was just a brain malfunction due to fatigue, jet lag etc I guess we’ll never know. The one thing she has going for her, is she is a genuinely talented runner, not like the typical walter mittys that cheat.
