"Schöner" Artikel in der NYTimes...vor allem die Story kannte ich noch nicht:
"....In the United States, perhaps the most egregious case in recent years was that of Kip Litton. Litton, a Michigan dentist in his 40s, was a champion marathon runner who claimed to regularly run marathons in under three hours and who was, he said, setting some sort of record by completing marathons in all 50 states. Neither assertion was correct, but give him points for effort. Once, he went so far as to invent a fake marathon in Wyoming, complete with a fake website, fake competitors, fake race officials and a fake winner (himself).
He, too, has always claimed that he finished all the courses fairly."

Die UCI setzt bei der Aufklärung von Motordoping auf Magnetresonanz-Untersuchungen per Tablet und bezeichnete diese Methode in einer Stellungnahme unlängst als "äußerst effizient".
Nach Angaben des Weltverbandes wurden in diesem Jahr bei den Bahnrad-Weltmeisterrschaften in London 274, bei der Flandern-Rundfahrt 216 und bei Paris-Roubaix 232 Tests durchgeführt.
Da würde mich interessieren, wie die UCI die Effizienz dieses Testverfahrens begründet.
