Did Katie Holmes fake the NY Marathon and have someone else run it for her?

It doesn't matter what size you are you can still get it.

I never believed she ran it. The going out that night in high heels was just over the top. I hope this all blows up in their faces.

[Chilly Willy]

It will, it will.

I don't think that the powers that be at the NY Marathon take cheating lightly, and I think if they are getting slammed with reports that she cheated, they'll look into it. If they can confirm that she did, I think they will publicly BUST her ass.

^^Unless $cientology pays them off not to...

I don't think she ran the whole thing either. And they're banking on the public thinking "why would anyone go to so much trouble just to fake a marathon and not such a great finish time anyway?" Answer: because they're crazy and want to create positive publicity for themselves.

[southernbelle]

I hope that even if they don't publicize it, they ban her from running again. I just want to see some action taken against her if she cheated because I feel it's incredibly disrespectful to the people who really did put in all of that hard work.

I wish that people would just start standing up to the cult. Seriously, if people would publicize it when the cult started threatening or bullying them, pretty soon they would become a laughingstock. Like, put out a press release saying "this is what the cult said they'd do if I made this information public- go ahead, do it, with the whole world watching. I dare you."

They have power because people allow them to have it by giving in to their demands.

Re: lying about the marathon, I also think they were trying to generate positive publicity for her before the release of her movie and to give the talk show hosts something to talk to her about other than her involvement in the cult. They're shutting up about it now because they realize that people have caught on to the fact (or at least are heavily suspicious) that she cheated. I think she slipped in for the last mile or two.

Well I don't think she did because of her no bra pictures, but, her legs clearly show she's in great shape and that she's been doing something along the lines of running. She has dropped quite a few pounds too.

[Beeyotch]

Yeah, I wouldn't doubt that she runs regularly, and it would have been believable if not for the overkill of contrary evidence. The no bra, no sweat and composed appearance at the end, the high heels later that night, no pics or anyone noticing her during the entire 5 hours, and now these exact same split times down to the second. When everything is taken together like that, it's all too much and points to Something Fishy.

Really? Do men get that as well?

[Rondette]

I'm not an athelete but my husband does run....on boxing day he did an 8 mile run/race with 800 other people...we stood at the end of the run to cheer him, and not once did I see any runner that was smiling or even looking like they were remotely enjoying themselves.

She looks far too happy....

I have no idea. I would think they might would get raw nipple but I am not sure about the joggers tit.

[moser]

She may have changed her clothes during a bathroom break for the photo op.

My husband's nipple's bled the first marathon he ran, cause he wore a cotton shirt. Ever since, he's worn some sort of lycra spandex blend shirt and no more bleeding nips. Perhaps her tank is made of something other than cotton? Hmmm...

Wait a minute. You gave me so much sh*t over my arguments and then you mention this little gem? Nice. So did you actually read any of my points or were you just happy to call me Sherlock? Hilarious!

No shit, Sherlock!

Sorry, just wanted to say that in this thread..what I really mean is I totally agree.

Stupid keyboard. Now I have to start from scratch! ...As I was saying: I've done an EMBARRASSING amount of research into this, and I don't beleive for a theta-second that Katie ran and/or walk) that whole marathon. I can't point to one single reason -- it's a combination of MANY odd/suspicious circumstances (some stranger than others) that have me totally convinced. They include (in no particular order):

1) Runners are given timing "chips" to wear on their shoelaces. NO chip can be seen on Katie's shoes (or anywhere else) in ANY of the photographs.

2) Katie was obviously running with two "bodyguards" (BG) wearing bibs #28994 and #6074. In photos, both BGs are clearly seen wearing CHIPS on their shoes -- even as they cross the finish line! Yet in the official race results, #6074 is NOWHERE to be found! The man was CLEARLY wearing the chip as he crossed the finish line, yet NO time is registered for him?! Very, VERY odd.

...It's also interesting to note that he crossed the finish line right next to Katie, and just behind BG #28994, whose official time 5:13:37, compared to "Katie's" time of 5:13:38 -- just 1 second ahead of Katie.

3) While we're on the topic, whoever "mystery runner" #6074 is, I'm SURE he's been informed of this controversy. So why not identify himself and volunteer some explanation for why he doesn't exist in the marathon records? ...Maybe because he doesn't HAVE an explanation?

4) Katie's pants. I don't care if you would/wouldn't wear pants to run 26 miles - that's not the point. The POINT is that those pants "conveniently" covered the laces of her shoes - in EVERY photograph. Just a coincidence, I'm sure.

5) The lack of a sports bra. From the looks of the photos, I am (unfortunately) just about the same cup size as Katie, and believe me -- I'm in pain if I run to the MAILBOX in a flimsy bra! Running a freaking marathon without a sturdy support bra? Not a chance.

6) Photographers are everywhere, yet photos of Katie are taken at only 2 points in the race. Also, BG #6074 was photographed at other times during the race, with no sign of Katie. Hmmmm... Isn't it his JOB to stick next to her??

7) No other runners have come forward to say they saw her running midway through the race. Not ONE. Yet others have come forward to say they started the race just before her, and finished just after her, yet they NEVER saw her pass them by.

8) Isn't it odd that not a single SPECTATOR recognized her along the 26-mile route, and snapped a photo?

9) Prior to the marathon, did anyone even know that Katie liked to run? The girl is photographed constantly, yet not once was she snapped while running.

10) I don't care what shape you're in, at the end of a 26-mile ANYTHING, you're gonna break a sweat. (Especially when you obviously didn't have time to "train" adequately.) Oh, and when you're actually exerting yourself, you're MUCH more likely to be peeling OFF clothes as you go, not pulling on a jacket.

11) As to the "WHY do it" questions - I'd say there are two:

Q1] WHY fake running a marathon in the first place??

A1] Umm.. Sadly, the same reason you'd go along with a sham of a marriage. You're horrifically insecure and will go along with whatever stunt your husband-master-overlord suggests. Tom had a movie to promote, plus he wants to show that Katie is "normal" and "healthy"... What better way than showing up (on her own!) and running the NYC marathon?

.... The only hitch is Katie is NOT a runner, and therefore probably couldn't even pull off a 5k! (Believe me - a LOT of thin people despise running/ have zero stamina.) Plus, even if she managed to finish, there's no way she would've looked so "Scientology-Perfect" at the finish line! And in the end, appearances are ALL that really matters... RIGHT, Mr. Mapother?

.... The solution? Fake it! As we all know by now, Scientology (+ money) can make ANYTHING happen.

Q2] Why "fake" a 5-hour finish time?

A2] Because, as WACKED as they are, they're not stupid. (At least Tom isn't.) They knew they were taking a chance with this stunt in the first place. If she'd had a strong/impressive finish, people would've questioned it all MUCH sooner...

I probably have a few more reasons to add, but I'm tired of typing! I think I've made my point.
