The Boston Marathon has a long well documented history of cheaters.

Like that time Rosie Ruiz hitched a ride on the Boston T 10 miles into the race.

Well, it was a fantastic performance, Rosie.

Congratulations.

Rosie Ruiz, the mystery woman winner, we missed her

at all our checkpoints.

She came through the finish of a fantastic 231. We have to confirm that time at this point, but she was way ahead of a world-class field here today in the Boston Marathon.

Thank you, Rose. Thank you.

So yeah, she was stripped of that title. And then there's this armchair investigator who claims to have found at least

47 people who cheated back in 2015 by taking someone else's bib or by taking shortcuts in their qualifying marathon.

Oh, and then there's this thriving marketplace where people say they'd be willing to spend

as much as $5,000 to get their hands on someone else's starting number.

And so maybe it's no surprise that this year, once again, a high profile Boston Marathon

finish is being called into question.

But there it was.

The day after the race, images of a runner's dramatic finish were splashed on the cover of the Boston Globe and featured on every major TV news channel.

It was powerful stuff.

But on the internet, he was being accused of cheating.

To me, it would have been considered, he should have been a DNF.

A DNF, as in, did not finish.

The cheater in question.

The cheater in question is Ari Offs of it and he's a friend of mine.
