When 69-year-old Anthony Gaskell crossed the finish line during the London Marathon in record time, you almost knew there would be questions. Gaskell completed the April 25 event in 3 hours, 5 minutes -- the fastest time ever recorded in the over-65 age group. He was later disqualified when organizers determined that he dropped out in the middle of the race because of injury and walked to the finish, cutting out almost ten miles of the course. In response, Gaskell said he never claimed to have won the age-group race and didn't check the results on the website. Following the competition, he reportedly told Mrs. Gaskell that he had to run to the store, but should be back shortly.
