Show notes

On this episode we talk with Miami Marathon Founder and Race Director Frankie Ruiz.

Frankie is known by Marathon Investigation followers for videotaping race bandits as they pull them off the course. Frankie would rather be known for his promotion of running, coaching success, and work within the Miami community.

We talk about all of the above, and more.

Jonathan Cane - Coach and Race Vigilante Dec 08, 2018

Show notes

Jonathan Cane was catching race cheaters for many years before Marathon Investigation was created.

Jon is a New York City based coach, and started looking for cheaters that bumped his athletes from awards. He was featured in a 2016 article by Runner's World.

Cheaters Beware: This Guy is Onto You

Jon and Derek first became acquainted during the aftermath of The Mike Rossi message board discussions. We talk about Kip Litton, Mike Rossi and more.

We also take a deep dive into Jonathan's Who Want's To Be a Millionaire appearance.

Sportstats Owner Marc Roy Dec 08, 2018

Show notes

On this episode we speak with Marc Roy, the owner and CEO of Sportstats. Sportstats is the largest timing company in North America.

Marc talks about technology in timing, and why it's important to wear your bib properly, and steps you can take to make sure that your bib registers as you cross the timing mats.

Sportstats uses advanced metrics to identify and remove course cutters from the final results or to adjust results for runners that drop down in distance.

We talk about cheating and the timer's obligation to make sure the results they submit are accurate.

Disqualified Triathlete - Anita Carcone Dec 07, 2018

Show notes

We thought we were going to speak with vilified Triathlete Anita Carcone. Instead we got Bill.

What followed was contentious from start to end.

This is a must listen, especially if you'd like to hear Derek and Scott getting cussed at for an hour.

Eventually we did get some new information and an admission.

The Two Hour Argument Dec 07, 2018

Show notes

In August of 2017, Derek appeared on Scott's podcast after Scott encouraged his followers to not support Marathon Investigation.

They argued on social media and Scott dared Derek to come on The Ten Junk Miles Podcast. Derek called his bluff and they argued for two hours.

This debate is a great look into the beginning of Derek and Scott's relationship and likely a peak of what to expect in future episodes of The Marathon Investigation podcast.

Introduction - Derek and Scott Dec 07, 2018

Show notes

Derek is the person behind MarathonInvestigation.com. It started as whim as a personal blog, but after a Viral article and a Runner's World profile, it grew into something more.

Scott was one of Marathon Investigation's earliest critics. While Scott dislikes cheating, he dislikes the idea of shaming even more.

Derek approached Scott with the idea of co-hosting, and surprisingly Scott agreed. Scott will often act as the devil's advocate. Derek and Scott will disagree often, but the arguments are sure to be entertaining and insightful.
