Rosie Ruiz (1980 Boston Marathon)
Rosie Ruiz done something most runners dream of doing. She was crowned as the winner of the famed marathon in a record time of 2:31:56. But her victory was short because it was determined that she cut the course through the crowd around a mile from the finish line.
What is more interesting is that Rosie as well cheated to get into the race at the 1979 New York City marathon by doing the same thing.
