Maude Gorman, the Massachusetts beauty queen who gave up her crown over what she called an insensitive #MeToo movement skit, had her finishes in ultramarathon races vacated after race officials caught her cheating.
Earlier this year, Gorman turned in her Miss Plymouth County crown after she said a skit at the Miss Massachusetts Organization's pageant in Worcester mocked the #MeToo movement.
Her decision gained attention from media across the country.
Gorman, a Hingham resident, posted several pictures of her training on social media, and has placed high in ultramarathons.
As reported by the blog Turtleboysports, Gorman has been disqualified as the second-place winner at this year's GiddyUp Pineland Farms Trail Festival 50 Mile race in Maine.
In an Aug. 8 Facebook post, Ken Krogsrud of GiddyUp Events, said the race disqualified Gorman's results after "complaints that she had cut the course multiple times."
Race organizers collecting timing data were able to show Gorman cut the course at least twice, according to the Facebook post.
"After asking for clarification from the runner, we were given conflicting statements and she sent us a picture of her watch but she would not send us her Garmin data for verification," the Facebook post read. Other race directors also found Gorman had a pattern of cutting courses, Krogsrud wrote.
The results of the race were changed after the investigation. Gorman was also disqualified in the East End Trail Races 50K ultramarathon which was run Aug. 5 in Easton, Massachusetts.
Northeast Race Management said there was a review of the race results including checking photographs, time stamps, lap splits and speaking with course spotters.
"We have concluded that our first place overall finisher did not run the race course as marked in its entirety," the statement read. "For this infraction, they have been disqualified and removed from the final race results."
Results posted online show Gorman was the only runner disqualified. Her address is listed as Fairhaven.
According to MassUltra.com, Gorman was told she isn't allowed to participate in events for either group.
The website reports Gorman was removed as a member of Team USA for the Skyrunning World Championships in Scotland. Gorman was also removed as an ambassador for Seven Seas Roasting Company, Turtleboysports reported.

“Maude”?
Virtue posturing epic fail.
OH NOOOOOOOOEZ !!!
One of those names like "Ethyl," "Gertrude," and "hillary" you don't see any more.
I’d have to cut about 98% of the course and I’d still be wheezing across the finish line.
Cheating and liberalism.
Joined in birth, joined unto death.
The jury says?
Rosie Ruiz for a new generation.
- Claims she was raped as a youth, and left traumatized by the experience.
- Claims she is a cancer survivor.
There are strong reasons to believe that neither of these things happened, and she made both up out of whole cloth.
In her defense, she's definitely a dime piece.
Check out Turtleboy for the whole story.

[I’d have to cut about 98% of the course and I’d still be wheezing across the finish line.]
I’ll bet I could drive the full course and not be out of breath at all. I’d just have the air conditioner on and maybe a CD playing.
And then a bacon cheeseburger, fries and a Coke to celebrate my fastest time.
I was trying to remember the name.
She was given a ride in a car a time or two, wasn’t she?
As long as she wasn’t a male two years ago, I will take her in my arms and forgive her.
I believe Rosie may have taken a bus at one point.
The only reason to watch that show was for adrienne barbeau
Been a long time. I’ll have to look her up.
My dad was always one of her biggest fans.
She was very kind to let me tape a hello message to him while she was at a DragonCon.
