I forget, not everybody involved in the sport of running and marathoning today knows the Rosie Ruiz story.
Back in 1980, Ruiz crossed the finish line of the Boston Marathon in 2 hr 31 min 56 seconds. Before the days of microchip timing, it took some time for race officials to suspect a fake.
Timesonline ranks the Ruiz incident 23rd on a list of top 50 sports scandals of all time.
