Yeah - While the athlete tracking and alert system failed for the thousands of real runners they had to produce split times for these "celebrities". Nobody in the sport cares about these guys --- how about fixing the system instead.
Wow, did someone get a blister or are you always such an angry d**k?
Robin Quivers never finished the ING NYC Marathon. There are no photos at the finish line whatsoever either by anxious fans or the press, of Robin crossing the line. Furthermore, every one of her split times are identical (to the second) with her trainer's time. The official photos will be out later this week. Search for bib 38112 and photos taken around the 6 hours 9 minutes time. Brightroom is the photo company tasked with documenting the event.
Robin Quivers is a fraud.. her times match her trainer's exactly, and there are NO photos of her at the finish line.
She should be disqualified and her charity fined.
