MEXICO CITY (AP) -- It seemed to be a sweet victory for Mexican politician and marathon runner Roberto Madrazo, who was humiliated in last year's presidential race: He won the age-55 category at the Berlin marathon with a surprising time of 2:41:12.Funniest. Story. Ever. And to think, this guy was running for President in that train wreck of a country! But, I shouldn't poke fun. Madrazo cheated and broke the laws of the race; something most Mexicans would never do. Isn't that right Arizona? And Texas?? And California???
But race officials said Monday they disqualified him for apparently taking a short cut in the Sept. 30 race. An electronic tracking chip indicates he skipped two checkpoints and took only 21 minutes to cover a nine-mile section -- faster than any human can run. (H/T - Yahoo! Sports)
Besides, I know of only one Mexican that is able to run that fast . . .
