quote:

Bourgeois said the disqualification stemmed from a “technicality of assistance,” meaning West received aid from someone on the course who was not affiliated with the race or part of its 17 aid stations throughout the 26.2 miles. Bourgeois said someone on a bicycle brought West “nutrition and liquids” several times during the race. Bourgeois said West was warned by a marshal “at least once that we don’t allow that.”

You've missed a prime opportunity for a legit WYHI thread.

My guess is she received some type of steroids.

I guess I should have been DQ'ed from mine as well. I was taking whatever anyone would give me. Oranges, beer, high fives, all of it. If they were offering it, I was taking it.

Can't imagine a sane person wanting to run 26 miles

They don't care about this if you aren't in the running for prizes or qualification for another event.

They should if they're going to enforce it on one person.

She should have known.

Guess she thought she could sneak it in a small race while trying to qualify for the Olympic Trials.

Meh. The reality is they can't police every portion of the race. And that orange you got didn't change the outcome of the event or any qualification.

A lot of races have rules for the pros/elites, and then other rules for everyone else. But this is a Boston qualifier course so they'll apply the no assistance to everyone.

Yes. But she didn't make that even if her time held.

Jeez, this makes no sense, it's a marathon in BR for goodness sakes, why risk it?
