(541-276-6711) Boston Marathon course-cutter dead BOSTON — Rosie Ruiz, the Boston Mara- thon course-cutter who was stripped of her victory in the 1980 race and went on to become an endur- ing symbol of cheating in sports, has died. She was 66. Ruiz, who was also known as Rosie Vivas, died in Florida of cancer on July 8, according to an obitu- ary that made no mention of her Boston Marathon infamy. “It’s a colorful part of the Boston Marathon his- tory, that’s for sure,” said Bill Rodgers, who won the men’s race that year and was immediately suspi- cious of the woman sitting next to him on the awards podium. “Poor Rosie, she took all the brunt of it.” An unknown who didn’t look or act like she had just run 26.2 miles, Ruiz finished first in the wom- en’s division in Boston in 1980 in a then-record time of 2 hours, 31 minutes, 56 seconds. Even as she was awarded her medal and the traditional olive wreath, her competitors wondered how a woman they hadn’t ever heard of — or seen on the course — could have won. “We knew that she had jumped in. We, who knew what the marathon was, we got it,” Rodgers told The Associated Press on Thurs- day. “She wasn’t sweat- ing enough; she had on a heavy shirt; she didn’t know about running. “I was with her the next day on TV, and she was just crying her head off,” Rodgers said, adding that he thought Ruiz wanted to confess. “If she had just said, ‘I’m sorry. I made a mistake.’ Runners — we all drop out of races — we would have understood.” In an era before tracking chips and electronic check- points, race organizers used spotters to scribble down the bib numbers of runners going by. (They focused mainly on the men’s race.) Ruiz did not show up there, on videotape or in any of 10,000 photographs taken along the first 25 miles of the course. Grilled by the Boston Athletic Association about her training methods and pace, she had no answers and did not seem to rec- ognize terms that would be common for elite mar- athoners; she also could not identify landmarks she would have passed on the course. Two Harvard stu- dents soon came forward to say they saw her join the race near Kenmore Square, about a mile from the finish. Ruiz was stripped of her title eight days after the race. Canadian Jacque- line Gareau was declared the rightful winner and brought back to Boston the next month to receive her due. “People, they’re still sorry for me. But at the same time I think they should feel sorry more for her,” Gareau, who also came in second in Boston twice and had two other top-10 finishes, told the AP.
