According to webmarathoninvestigation, the broker used the brand of 3:17:06 at the Chicago Marathon obtained in the 2017 year to be able to participate in this year's edition of the Boston Marathon, where he has got the 3 time: 01: 55 although shortly after it was disqualified.

The test has 12 step control points during the race and Alexandre Faria sHe went through two of them, going through the 5 km with a time of 34: 06 at a rate of 6: 49 min / km, per km 40,5 with 2: 50: 29  reaching the goal with a 3 final time: 01: 55  what it means to have run the 42 km at a rate of 4: 20.
