We were forced to disqualify a participant after it was confirmed they received unauthorized assistance from an individual on a bicycle, in violation of USA Track & Field rules and our race regulations. We take these rules seriously to ensure fairness and the integrity of our event for all competitors,
Kutscher, who has been race director since 2009, disqualified Fadil because in addition to supplying water, the bike buddy provided illegal pacing. We were able to see that yes, in fact, the bicyclist was illegally pacing, if you will. As a result, I determined this was something that needed to be overturned and put Stephan Shay as our winner.
