I have to say that it does seem the knives are out for her a bit, it appears that she has managed to rub a few people up the wrong way and is now paying for it. I truly hope that her run was legitimate.

But cheating at a crewed race like Badwater in which other participants and crews at the sharp end will have a very clear idea of whether or not a woman has passed them would be a huge logistical exercise and there are a million ways of being rumbled. And Ms Paulson is a formidable athlete.

I wouldn't cheat at all Me neither I was just amazed someone would consider doing so for such a small gain. But I suppose if you’re that way inclined maybe….
