Runner Caught Cheating !!!

[piggynose]

What should her punishment be?
How about doing the race again in barefeet?

This was a strange one.
The excuses seemed plausible up until the bit about taking the prize.
She must have been really jetlagged ...

Very confusing story. Ideal for everyone. Either she's a foreign cheating *** or she's a decent gal who's simply misunderstood. (Sort that sentence out if you can. "I'm just a gal whose intentions are good;...")

[ichkeria]

She isn’t foreign. She is from Dumfries originally

[Atheist]

ich. Dumfries is foreign to most of the planet!

She says that her error was caused through 'miscommunication'. This baffles me a bit (a lot actually). How can she have reached her age and level of competitive running without understanding that you have to run all the course?

She's a Doctor, in Australia - hope she has no miscommunication problems there.

No, don't make her run it in bare feet. She's been found out, that is punishment enough - she will never be trusted in a race again and the people who matter will dismiss her (that's all genuine athletes).

being discovered is poonie enough
she will forever be the gal who hitched a lift....

a bit like cheating at science

[Aircooledfool]

Dumfries is foreign???
I don’t think so , not to me and several thousand others

[wolf63]

Dumfries is on the best side of the border.

I would give her the benefit of the doubt, her reason for not telling the organisers about her situation was almost reasonable.

[Old_Geezer]

Probably been watching too much Family Guy.

What a lot of words to describe 'caught cheating'.

Least said, soonest mended, but the good doctor seems to be a bit of a chatterbox.

She was apologetic and it was right to be disqualified but i hope they let her run again next year.
