The Los Angeles Marathon disqualified 70-year-old runner Frank Meza, saying that video cameras show he left the course for a portion of his record-setting performance in March and that his time during one stretch was so fast as to be “impossible.”
It might seem unlikely that an elderly, recreational runner could become the topic of national debate, but the marathon community takes its ethics seriously and has been left distrustful by a history of fraud.
On Monday, Meza reiterated his previous assertion that, during last spring’s race, he left the course in search of a restroom and continued along the sidewalk for some distance before finding one.Officials also cited him for wearing his numbered bib on his hip instead of pinning it to his shirt, which has raised concerns that he passed the bib to another runner for a portion of the marathon.
