Why was Fred Lorz disqualified 1904 Olympic marathon

His manager gave him a lift in his car
Born in New York City, Lorz was reported to have done all his training at night due to his profession as a bricklayer.

An announcement in the August 6, 1904 issue of The New York Times indicated that the Metropolitan Association of the Amateur Athletic Union would hold a "special seven-mile race" at Celtic Park on August 13, 1904 with the eight top finishers receiving a paid trip to compete in the marathon at the Olympic Games in St. Louis on August 30, 1904.

Lorz, listed as representing the Mohawk Athletic Club, was named as one of 19 "probable competitors" in the event.

In the marathon at the 1904 Olympic Games, Lorz stopped running because of exhaustion after nine miles (14.5 km).

His manager gave him a lift in his car for the next eleven miles (17.7 km), after which it broke down; Lorz then continued on foot back to the Olympic stadium, where he broke the finishing line tape and was greeted as the winner of the race.
