Woman Disqualified From Boston Marathon After Cheating Her Way to Victory in St. Louis
A woman has been disqualified from Monday’s Boston Marathon after officials claimed that she snuck onto the last leg of the Go! St. Louis Marathon last Sunday, where she won the race and a $1,500 prize, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Kendall Schler, 26, did not register times at any of the marathon’s seven checkpoints, race officials told the Post-Dispatch, and no photos could be found of her third-place finish in 2014, which qualified her for this year’s race in Boston.
“It’s a difficult situation for everybody, including the people who run a fair race and don’t get the recognition they should receive,’’ Nancy Lieberman, president of GO! St. Louis, told the Post-Dispatch. “I said to her, ‘It looks like you perpetrated a fraud.’ I have nothing legitimate that says she officially started and ran 26.2 miles in 2014 or 2015.’’
