BREAKING: Sean Meehan Accused of Cheating in Maurice Mullins IMRA Event by "High-Fiving" Competitors for an Unfair Energy Boost.

In what can only be described as a 'blatant' violation of the sanctity of fair competition, runner Sean Meehan has been caught in a shocking act of underhandedness during the Maurice Mullins IMRA event. The infamous runner allegedly gained an unfair advantage by 'high-fiving' fellow competitors in a manner so enthusiastic that it triggered an uncontrollable surge of positive energy, propelling him forward.

Eyewitnesses were horrified as Meehan was seen offering high-fives at every possible opportunity, all while maintaining a “casual” air of camaraderie that had some questioning whether this was a race or a motivational masterclass. “It was like a running version of a rock concert,” one exhausted competitor claimed. “He wasn’t just high-fiving people, he was channeling an entire mountain of cheering on lookers with each slap. I felt like I could run another marathon—until I realized I was in the middle of a race, and he was boosting away from me!”

Experts in the field of sports psychology are now weighing in on the controversial tactic, suggesting that these high-fives were nothing short of 'emotional doping'. “It’s scientifically proven that physical contact, particularly high-fives, can boost one’s dopamine levels,” said Dr. Emily Hype, a leading researcher on sports behavior. “By strategically offering high-fives at crucial moments, Meehan was effectively injecting his competitors with waves of feel-good energy. That’s like giving someone a caffeine boost without the coffee. It’s an unfair advantage, pure and simple.”

Other runners, many of whom were 'mercilessly' high-fived mid-race, were left feeling disoriented. “I was in the zone, climbing a steep incline, trying to keep my legs from turning to jelly,” said one disillusioned competitor. “Then, out of nowhere, Meehan slaps my hand like we’re best friends. Suddenly, I feel an overwhelming surge of optimism. I was thinking, ‘I can do this! I’m unstoppable!’—and that’s when he surged ahead and left me in the dust. How am I supposed to compete with that?”

The accusations have sparked an uproar in the running community, with many calling for the introduction of a new rule: 'No High-Fiving for Energy Boosts.' Some runners have even suggested that a limit be imposed on the number of high-fives one can give during an event, while others are calling for an immediate reclassification of high-fiving as an 'illegal assistance technique'.

“I trained for months for this race,” one outraged competitor raged. “I didn’t sign up to play ‘hand slaps’ with my opponents—I came here to run!”

Despite the mounting controversy, Meehan remains unapologetic. “I was just trying to spread some positivity,” he said, flashing a grin and offering yet another high-five to a nearby volunteer, who immediately looked visibly energized. “It’s all part of my strategy—get the crowd involved, get the competitors involved, and make everyone feel like a winner, even if I’m the one crossing the finish line first.”

IMRA officials have yet to respond, but sources say they’re considering whether to institute a new rule prohibiting high-fives outright.

As for Sean Meehan, while his result may stand for now, the real question remains: where does he get this positive energy from! The running world waits with bated breath—and slightly more energized spirits—on the outcome of this scandalous race of the heart.
