Rosie Ruiz, getting the Boston Marathon winner’s medal and laurel wreath. No one could remember running with her, and most people thought another runner, Quebec’s Jacqueline Gareau, was leading the fastest women’s pack. Officials could not spot Rosie in any of the photographs or footage of the race until near the very end. What they did find was photos of someone with her number and build getting on and off the subway, and eyewitnesses to back it up. Her title was stripped eight days later. -- source link
