Let's take a look at Kip's Outfits.
http://kiplitton.blogspot.com/2012/04/study-of-outfits.html
He seems to like to wear 2 different caps (sometimes switching caps in the middle of races). Let's refer to them as Cap A and Cap B. At Boston 2010, Kip is wearing Cap A at 15K, 13.1Miles, & 30K............and Cap B right before the finish line. It appears he may have done the same at COX Providence, Rhode Island marathon - wears Cap A at the start and Cap B before the finish (along with a shoe change and shorts change). At Deadwood (South Dakota), where he was disqualified, he went with a light-blue cap to Cap B.

AT BOSTON 2010
It appears that Kip wore an all black outfit (black long sleeve and
black long pants) and what we refer to as Cap A (a black colored cap with
green/white logo) up until at least the 30K point (~18miles where he
accidentally came into camera view at 30K where Jim Rhodes (an unofficial
photographer i.e. not affiliated with marathonfoto.com) was taking photos).
-> wonder if he was on the sidewalk for most of the heartbreak hill
area. Don’t forget Kip "ran" a 2:50ish at st louis the week before his
supposed 2:52 at Boston, then somewhere before the finish he stripped
the black long sleeve and the black long pants to have his race bib showing and
also changed ball caps to Cap B (a black cap with a BAA logo). We don't
have proof it's the same person but the yellow tinted sunglasses, silver watch
and red/white Mizuno shoes all appear to match. http://kiplitton.blogspot.com/2011/01/more-photos-discovered-of-kip-boston.html
We looked back at Kip's outfits to see if there was some pattern,
perhaps with the ballcaps.
And It looks like he's worn Cap A at most of his races from 2009-2010.And
it looks like he has switched ballcaps in the middle of the following
marathons:
1. COX Providence, Rhode Island Marathon (can't tell for sure but looks like he went Cap A to
Cap B, along with taking off shorts and the shoe change of course)
2. Deadwood, South Dakota DQ (he went from a lightblue colored cap at the
start to Cap B at the finish)
3. & at Boston 2010 from Cap A to Cap B.
Cap A - a faded black color baseball cap with a Green & White logo
Cap B - black color with a BAA logo

Seems clear after reading the New Yorker article this week that this Kip is a sad man and has been cheating only himself over all these years. David Slack
