The 1904 Olympic marathon is considered the strangest in history. Winner Thomas Hicks was given brandy and strychnine (rat poison) as stimulants, Fred Lorz was disqualified after riding in a car for much of the race, and Cuban runner Félix Carvajal was chased off course by dogs. The Marathon in St. Louis was run in 90°F heat, on dusty dirt roads, with a course that had seven hills and only one water station, deliberately, because the organiser wanted to study the effects of dehydration on the human body. Of the 32 starters, only 14 finished. The first man across the line was Fred Lorz of New York, who had actually stopped running at mile nine, hitched a ride in a car for 11 miles, then jogged the final stretch to the finish. He was photographed with the winner's laurel before anyone caught on. He was banned for life, then reinstated a year later when officials accepted he'd just been joking around. The actual winner, Thomas Hicks, was fed raw eggs, brandy, and strychnine, rat poison, used in tiny doses as a stimulant, by his trainers during the race. He was hallucinating by the final miles, seeing the finish line as miles further away than it was. He had to be carried across by four men and nearly died. He was still declared the winner and the doping was entirely legal. Cuban runner Félix Carvajal turned up in street clothes, having lost his travel money in a dice game in New Orleans and hitchhiked to St. Louis. He stopped mid-race to eat apples from an orchard, which turned out to be rotten, giving him stomach cramps. He still finished fourth. Two South African runners, Len Taunyane and Jan Mashiani, were the first Black Africans to compete in the Olympics. Taunyane would likely have finished far higher had he not been chased nearly a mile off course by wild dogs. The man who organised the marathon later called it "the most remarkable athletic event in the history of the modern Olympic Games." He was not wrong.

Governor Jeff Landry’s comments on LSU’s next coaching hire were the second most ridiculous comments he’s made this week. There’s far more to be concerned about from that office. Scott Woodward has done an amazing job as AD and I fully believe that the failure was on Brian Kelly, not him. It’s already been stated that no fallout is on taxpayers, because this is privately funded. There still needs to be a better way to handle buyouts, but this is in no way a White House problem. We know what that comment was about though. #FirstTake #CoachingHire #Louisiana
