The whole cheating story can be summarized into the following three, consecutive, paragraphs:
> During the race, in the time that elapsed between the first and second photos being taken, Sergio had apparently switched his watch from his left wrist to his right wrist and inexplicably grown a scar on his left shin. When the photos came to light, Bester, the scorned 15th place finisher, knew that something was up.
> As it turns out, the competitor Sergio Motsoeneng was not one, but two people. Forty-five minutes into the race, Sergio ducked into a porta-potty. Inside, his identical brother, Fika, was waiting.
> Sergio removed his shirt, bib, hat, and even shoes, and gave them to his brother, who continued the race. The race organizers figured that this bait-and-switch happened on more than one occasion throughout the 90-kilometer course. The siblings had organized their own relay.
I'd think Frank Meza, the 70-year-old cheat who routinely used a bicycle etc to finish first in the older category, would be in the running for 'Greatest Cheat'? He did it for years, pretty much every race as I understand it.
