Dumbest Cheater Ever

[@fergusdenoon1255]

no way, the dumbest cheater ever will never be beaten, that's the guy who took the busses then claimed it was legit because he was still running in the busses. that's a level of dumbest cheating nobody will ever be able to surpass.

[@AWildBard]

hahahahaha

[@smythfamily8321]

My dad told me about that one 😂 so dumb

[@coasteringkid]

This guy is clearly pretty fast no reason to cut like that. Could have ran a great time but now he's a clown

[@chrisvanbuggenum871]

Honestly why cheat on some random half marathon. I can understand the Olympics and the temptation, but this is like me cheating on the local park run.

[@thedailystride5407]

Lol, imagine being caught. Brutally embarrassing

[@Biffo1262]

Embarrassing for Llanelli Athletics Club too; his club. I hope they dealt with him.

@@Biffo1262 the club would chuck him out at least temporarily, I would guess. He won't be taken seriously he's been all over the news.

[@adhdguy8403]

Chip check on mile 11 would have solved it.

[@19JSC92]

This has blown up on the news in the UK. He tried to double down by manually uploading a GPX file frome the race to his Strava, unfortunately for him he had uploaded the 2022 course which took a slightly different route at one point. It's also been alleged that he cheated in a road relay race for his club a few weeks prior to Cardiff half as well.

[@Robutube1]

It's hard to comprehend the thinking here because he is, to use the cliché, only cheating himself. I guess it could be ego or a wager with a friend or another runner but really it is just a bit pathetic. He's obviously a good runner but now he's tarred with this for ever.

[@basicjimster]

I don't know if this would be a dishonorable mention but there was a model name Bre Tiesi who did a half marathon in Temecula, California. She claimed to have finished the half marathon without any formal training in 1:58:22. However she crossed the 10km mark in 1:31:29, which meant that her final 11.1km was done in 26:53, which is a clear sign that she cheated, intentional or not. Not to mention that her split around 11 miles was missing as well. The most outrageous part was that she still tried justifying/defending herself even after all the evidence has been played out, which is not only absolutely ridiculous but downright hilarious to watch unfold at the same time.

[@jojolords4523]

I think that I was able to hit a time below 2 hours in the half marathon before actively starting to train my endurance, because I already had a good base endurance, given that I ran all time everywhere as habit and made races with busses and stuff like that. I would probably be able to run below 1h20min now.

[@leftshark_2183]

If I remember correctly, there was was a double-looped part of the course that she completely missed. Being a first-timer, it's plausible that she was oblivious to this, and thought she ran the full race. She eventually changed her tune.. Johnny Football's girlfriend, wasn't she?

[@squiglemcsquigle8414]

​. Shes still insisting to this day rhat she completed it. Runnerboi has a vid on her

[@MrCummings1993]

This is legit, he wanted to easy run and then test himself. He wanted to see how he feels at HM WR pace 😅 watch when he runs 56:58 at his next HM

[@plowestv]

I saw the worst cheating ever! A yr1 (5 yrs old) runner lagging so far behind everyone on a 400m grass oval track that at the start/finish line he decided to make a right angle turn and run straight across the middle of the oval and catch up! So funny to see but it highlighted something that's inside us all :-)

[@owen-trombone]

I hope this individual's behavior was reported to the race officials and had his race results nullified. Very disappointing.

[@plowestv]

LOL, he ran straight past them 🙂

[@And-rc9yy]

That's kind of funny being as it was a young child, though I do hope it was fully explained to him afterwards. @@plowestv

[@MichaelLoweAttorney]

1:19 half is a good time. It’s just not elite. It’s so dumb to cheat at any level. But to try to cheat your way into an elite time takes a special kind of dumb.

[@oneone9884]

You would think they would put a timing mat out at that 11 mile turn

[@rebelsage3158]

A very sad individual who let down his own club. His time is good enough and to cheat is dumb beyond belief.

[@FlaminalLow]

I don’t think that athlete can get significantly better, otherwise they wouldn’t have cheated in such a dumb way. 1:20 half marathon is impressive, but I think this is the case of someone who’s already reached their limit.

[@jojolords4523]

1h20min as male athlete is not that impressive and doesn't require much training to reach. It took me only 3 months of training to run 3km in 9:54min, only three weeks for 1km in 2:59min and and only two weeks for 400m below 60s. If you find a good way to improve fast you get it done easily and once that fast improvement phase is done, switch to jogging long distances to get much better. At the moment, I am jogging every single day and cover over 72km weekly.

[@jameskillilea1983]

@@jojolords45231.20 half is impressive. 94% of all runners in the world would like to be able to run a HM in that time. Fair play to you if you can. Running times are all relative and peoples goals all different too based on a multitude of different factors.

Absolutely he's gone from very good to pathetic cheat. Even if his cheating wasn't detected what would he have gained?

[@robertbaker1893]

The dumbest marathon cheat ever is the guy who flagged down a bus that was carrying race officials from the start to the finish of the Seaton marathon in 2019, rode it for 2 miles then hopped off and carried on running to finish the race in 3rd place. He was disqualified and banned from competition after people who had shared the bus with him spoke out, but appealed against the decision claiming mistaken ID. The GPS data he submitted to his appeal showed him moving at 30mph over part of the course, but he still insisted he had been running the whole time.

[@derekrunsagain]

A bonafide 1:20 half marathon is way better than a 1:07 cheater's half marathon. Why so desperate to impress?

Second one. That way I have some fun not getting caught before it all comes crashing down.

[@aidanoc19]

I live in Cardiff and ran this race. The bit he cut is pretty much exactly 2 miles, it's a well known training loop around the lake with a slight rise and fall on the way back. It's a popular spectator spot, there was live music, etc so pretty easy for someone to get lost in the crowd and cut across the junction to head to the final mile.

[@lizzie7412]

120 is a pretty good half marathon time without other factors and it’s good to be proud to run it until you put in that much work to be that elite. Only less than 0.5 percent of people ever finish a half marathon at all, on walk or run. I’m working on my sub 120 right now.

[@adamcastelli9262]

The trans version of this is if Dave meets Jim Carrey again but this time he says "hey Andy! Great to see you" but Jim corrects him. "That was before, Dave. I'm really Jin Carrey." Then instead of calmly accepting this, Dave decides to tell Jim Carrey that he refuses to call him anything other than Andy Kaufman and gets mad when he is told that that doesn't make sense to do anymore.

The point where he took a short cut and missed the last three miles had a huge stage and hundreds of people around. He was running with the elite runners so its not like he could have hid in the crowd. He must have stopped and jumped the barrier with hundreds of people watching.

[@DR-cs6dl]

Actually there are multiple streets going off to the left before the loop which reconnect with the final stretch, at the bottom of the lake before the loop itself would’ve been far too risky and he would’ve been seen by hundreds of people like you said, but cut throughs such as Morlais Street, Boverton Street, Tydfil Place, or even the back lanes behind these roads going to their garages would’ve been much quieter
