I highly recommend an article in the recent Olympic edition of The New Yorker called "Marathon Man". It's about the famed running cheater Kip Litton who will be familiar to those of you who regularly visit the letsrun message board. I'd post a link to it, but it's not available online so you'll have to pick up the magazine. Twelve pages long about how this 40 something year old dentist from Michigan has been cheating in marathons for years.
