Did Mike Rossi (viral marathon dad) cheat his way into Boston?

Doubler=Mike

You got me. Now go investigate the lady from the A1A marathon and leave me alone.

I have noticed that Mike likes to capitalize random words and a lot of ellipses.

by golly, you're right. I hadn't noticed it, but that's exactly is style.

I don't know why people are saying there is no evidence he cheated. I am looking at the photos from the race and everyone says, in big letters, "PROOF" - as in "proof" that Mike Rossi did not run this race.

Just thought I'd let you know, he cheats and cuts short my morning walk too.

He's running Badwater this year.

No way. Their logo sucks, and there isn't much Badwater schwag available. The average person has no idea what Badwater is.

It's all about Ironman and the MDot.

Top Ten Excuses From "Dad of the Year" Marathon Cheater Mike Rossi

10. Lucrative wedding DJ gigs made running more than 15 miles per week impossible

9. Meant to expose his principles, not school principal

8. Can't help it if 18,000 racecourse photos didn't happen to catch him running

7. Marathon terms and policies don't specifically forbid Uber rides during race

6. Thought Via Marathon meant finishing via any means available including cars

5. Doesn't think that his Boston qualifier time of "3-1-1 is a joke"

4. New shoes worked really well on race day

3. Will be exonerated later this year by breaking the two hour barrier at his inaugural "Dancin’ on Air" marathon

2. Lawyer isn't a 'thoner

1. Learned as much in the five minutes he did run as he has during some entire years

I agree and succinctly put, I like your style my friend.

My wife left me a message this morning to google " Mike Rossi. In the bushes. At a McDonald's" it made my day and it wasn't even 5 AM.

Can we get a picture of Mike Rossi, in his BAA gear, at Starbucks ordering a Carmel macchiato?

This guy is a cartoon of a cartoon.

Sorry ? No, I'm not sorry someone called the police on you. Y'all deserved that. What was sad and puzzling was that most of you thought you didn't. Here's a short list of what either you did or what you knew about and didn't stop:

- tracking human beings

- stealing someone's work

- photoshopping nude photo and sharing them

- hacked bank information

- hacked private emails

- hacked private documents

- stalking

- harassment

- lying

- lying after medical mistreatment

- monitoring a woman through cameras

- verbal abuse/cruelty

- defamation

- death threats (I've received many this past year)

I know it's hard to see that you have been a terrible person, but you have been a terrible person. And then you blamed me for showing you the truth.

I've been wondering if there's a possibility this thread (about 3280 posts) will reach the 5000 number before Down Goes The Dow. The latter only needs 55 more posts, but it grows at a substantially slower rate. If there are some new significant developments regarding Rossi it could very well happen within a week or less.

That's obtuse.

Also looking for some clarification on the difference between "lying" and "lying after medical mistreatment"

Why 200 pages, why not 5,000 posts?

Wow! I finally decided to click on this thread. I hadn't heard about any of this (letter or controversial BQ) as I have been preoccupied moving my corn mill from Bangalore to Pune. But, seriously WOW! Why do people do stuff like this?

Mike, it's clear you're new to the sport but be aware that while all the evidence may seem circumstantial to you and your lawyer (assuming he / she is not a runner), it's actually pretty conclusive evidence to anyone who has experience training for / competing in marathons. You will not win this one. Please come clean, it'll be a lot less painful for you and your family. The sad thing is your legit marathon at Philly (3:43) if really run off of 15 mpw suggests that if you put in a couple of years of solid mileage and worked on your times at shorter distances, you probably could've gotten a legit BQ....probably not 3:11 but a BQ none the less. It might have taken 2-3 years but it could've happened without cheating.
