Derek is the person behind MarathonInvestigation.com. It started as whim as a personal blog, but after a Viral article and a Runner's World profile, it grew into something more. Scott was one of Marathon Investigation's earliest critics. While Scott dislikes cheating, he dislikes the idea of shaming even more.  Derek approached Scott with the idea of co-hosting, and surprisingly Scott agreed. Scott will often act as the devil's advocate. Derek and Scott will disagree often, but the arguments are sure to be entertaining and insightful.

On this episode we talk with Ultra Runner and Ultra Historian Davy Crockett. Davy has completed exactly 100 hundred mile races. You can find Davy's podcast and articles at ultrarunninghistory.com. Davy came on to tell his story of his experience with Kelly Agnew. Kelly was famously disqualified after  skipping laps in a 24 hour race by hiding out in porta-poties. Kelly found himself in the news again after being charged with multiple counts of theft. Davy was friends with Kelly, and was one of the first to suspect and witness Kelly's behaviors. He tried to do everything he could to stop this behavior before reaching out to Marathon Investigation. Davy tells the story from beginning to end with the hope that Race Directors will learn from the events and circumstances that allowed Kelly to continue cheating at races for years.     To support the podcast, and for the opportunity to listen to bonus content, become a patron on Patreon.
