===Rosie Ruiz, the impostor===
In 1980, [[Rosie Ruiz]] crossed the finish line first in the women's race. However, marathon officials became suspicious, and it was discovered that she did not appear in race videotapes until near the end of the race, with a subsequent investigation concluding that she had skipped most of the race and blended into the crowd about a half-mile (800{{nbsp}}m) from the finish line, where she then ran to her false victory. She was disqualified eight days later, and Canadian [[Jacqueline Gareau]] was proclaimed the winner.<ref name="BAA 1901–1905"/><ref name=bocaratonRuiz/>
