A similar thing happened on Saturday at the Birkebeiner Classic xc ski race:
Minnesota’s Joe Dubay (Saint Scholastica) was the first to cross the line in the men’s classic race on Saturday, but was later disqualified for racing in a bib that belonged to his teammate at the College of Saint Scholastica, Chris Parr.
David Chamberlain of Boulder Nordic Sport, who was originally second but a small margin, moved to first. Norway’s decorated Olympian, Vegard Ulvang placed third.

Speaking of the Birkie, I have to give a shout-out to my brother-in-law, Mark Nienstaedt for finishing a VERY close 3rd in his 55-59 AG in the classic 54k race. He covered the distance in 3:15:12 and lost 2nd in his age group by .4 seconds!!! I believe this was his 18th Birkebeiner.A similar thing happened on Saturday at the Birkebeiner Classic xc ski race:

That's 115% of the winner's time, which is damn good. If you were to make an analogy to running, I would say that he ran something like a 2:38-2:46 marathon. I'm estimating that the winner of the Birkie Classic is comparable to a 2:20 or 2:25 marathon runner.

As to the marathon, the guy doesn't seem too broken up about it. My surprise is that the RD is letting him come back next year.

I think it's a nice piece of PR and a smart move to give the guy an entry. He seemed pretty contrite about it and the guy is obviously fast.
Or perhaps to run a proper marathon you need the national guard guarding key points of the course <obvious troll>
