You think he would've learned from that guy in 1896, but...nope. In 1904, American marathon runner Fred Lorz stopped running after nine miles and hopped in his manager's car to be driven for the next ELEVEN miles. The car broke down a few miles short of the finish line so Lorz walked the rest of the way to the stadium, prompting people who saw him arrive on foot to greet him as the victor. Rather than keep the charade up too long, he admitted that he wasn't really the winner before he was found out...but not before indulging it for a little.
