I'm not quite sure where you got the impression that I was implying I thought Katie was above cheating or lying. I was just saying that since she is so well-known, I would think that in something as public a setting as a marathon, she would have a harder time cheating than the average Joe. Because she's so well known, I would assume that people would be giving her a lot of attention which would make it harder for her to have gotten away with simply showing up at the finish line and pretending to have run.

And call me crazy, but I need more than the absence of cell phone photos or the fact that someone wasn't wearing a bra or looked half way decent at the finish line to jump to the conclusion that they didn't run a marathon. To me, none of those factors individually or even combined is logical enough to make the jump to support even simple speculation, much less move to the conclusion that she's a liar and flat out didn't run.

Which, when you say "no way" she ran it based on not wearing a bra and how she looked at the end of the race, I think you've gone past the point of speculation. Maybe I'm missing something, but that seems pretty difinitive that you've moved into the territory of calling her a flat out liar.

Also, I hate to put a damper on your big Perry Mason moment that "no woman alive" could run a marathon without a bra, but I've seen them at marathons. Quite a few of them actually. And I've seen women who were way better endowed than minnie-tittie Katie running with nothing on more supportive than a tank top. Just like her. Just because you don't/can't/choose not to doesn't mean it's not possible no one else can do it.
