Did he cheat?

Did you know that this year's winner of the LA Marathon 65-69 division was a guy named Jimmy Toyama?

Jimmy Toyama lives in Hawaii. He is 68 years old. He was also listed as the age division winner last year, but he didn't receive his plaque. He didn't receive a plaque this year either. He didn't receive his plaques because he was disqualified, yet his name is still listed on the website. Why?

The real winner was Freddie Perez, Wild Mountain Runner Founder. Freddie is still listed as second place on the official LA Marathon website; however, Freddie has the 1st place plaque. He was unfairly pushed to second place by Jimmy. Furthermore, another local Sylmar runner named Trini was pushed from 3rd to 4th by Jimmy. Why Jimmy?

We would love to hear Jimmy Toyama's story. What happened Jimmy? Why did you do what you did?

Jimmy is currently running for the chairman of the Democratic Party of Hawaii (read about it here)

I wouldn't vote for him. In my book, he is a big-time LOSER.

However, I hope that I am wrong. I hope that it is just a simple misunderstanding. If it is, I will be the first to apologize to Jimmy, and I will be the first to congratulate him.

Let us know.
