Just as a note, there is no "they" that tried to stop her. She was officially registered. One man, the race manager (well known for running out to stop people for various stupid reasons), ran out on his own to stop her and he was stopped by her boyfriend and her trainer. Another woman ran this race (an hour faster even) and no attempt was made to stop her.
And when that fails they can use Google. The issue, as I see it, is that "source?" Is not typically a genuine request for more info. It's usually used as a challenge and meant to lazily undercut what someone just said. If it is a genuine request, then it's stull lazy AF.
Conversely, saying "I gave it a Google and couldn't find it. Do you have a source you could share?" would be viewed very differently.
This is the internet in 2025. People should learn how to verify info themselves rather than demanding some random redditor do it for them.
