I don't really have anything to add to this discussion. It's already clear that he cheated. I just wanted to make it clear that I care about Mr. Rossi's cheating after his numerous posts claiming that few people care about his cheating. I will not ever be associated with this marathon. Mr Rossi: More people care about this than you think. So far, you have acted childishly. But own up to it. People will be more compassionate than you think. It's better than your alternatives (of being a joke to the entire running community for the rest of your life).

What does law enforcement say about liking Facebook pictures of 9 years old girls? Strictly speaking, that is pedophilia.
I never notified lawyers or police of him liking my daughters pictures because I assumed it was a lame attempt at intimidation. Maybe I should rethink this now.

No dude, "What a Waste" is right.
Since we already know that MR did not run the course it is a given that nobody remembers seeing him. Where does that get you?
Ask 20 people - 19 of them hang up the phone thinking you are a nut. 1 of them says, "Yeah, I saw some stuff about how this guy cheated. Don't remember seeing him but then I'm not sure that I would have had any reason to notice or remember him."
OK, now where are we?
Are you one of the LVM committee members? You certainly seem qualified. Who said no one remembers seeing him? That is not what the LVM statement said or implied. In addition, being a defeatist gets you no where. There is no harm in trying and moreover, I was just inquiring as to whether it was done or given any serious consideration. Also, one could email some of the people, which allows for a little more explanation. The committee did not contact 2,500 participants, but instead they said that no one reported seeing anything. That is a big difference.
As for where it gets me or anyone for trying it. Well, while it may not produce any results, and the likelihood is that it wouldn't, it falls under the category of being thorough, something the committee obviously failed to do. It is just one more thing that could be crossed off the list, or perhaps one or two people say, yeah, I remember him running right next to me in mile 17 or something like that. I can recall some people that ran besides me for periods of time either because of what they were wearing, or their stride or a number of factors.
Runners tend to be serious people and fairly detail oriented, which is what this whole exercise has been and will be about. So while there are a few of you who like to doubt and say things can't be done, there are the rest of us who are usually just doing it rather than bemoaning it.
"Are you one of the LVM committee members?"
No. Are you really so stupid that that was supposed to be a serious question?
"Who said no one remembers seeing him?"
Of course no one remembers seeing him. He didn't run the race moron. Again, are you really that stupid or is this just some kind of act?
"So while there are a few of you who like to doubt and say things can't be done, there are the rest of us who are usually just doing it rather than bemoaning it."
Go get 'em tiger!
Sorry but you come across as a complete lunatic.
Good luck!

It was a take from the movie Animal House. Plus the Supreme Court just overturned a ruling in Pennsylvania for a guy who made much worse statements against his ex wife and fbi agents, so using a quote for a movie that was really tying into a user's word of "over" is absurd. Grow up Rossi.
No one threatened you in any meaningful way.

well things just got interesting again. Mike Rossi's attorney is being paid to scan the forums?
Nice gig.
No, Mike Rossi is scanning the forums himself. And he notifies his lawyer whenever someone is too critical. Several people have been silenced already.
Pretty sure that nobody has "been silenced". Become bored perhaps but (ooooh) "silenced"? No.
Mike Rossi obviously cheated, lied about it and is a scumbag. But "silencing" people? Oh please!

This thread was fun, but then some guy ruined it by posting threats on his life. It's truly time to move on now. It's over guys.

This is getting close to the line of libel. I'd watch myself if I were you.
On another note, I sure hope MR's attorney is farming the scanning out to a temp. Can't be that great of a lawyer if he has the time to do this personally and can't bill for it.

Ummm...don't be a moron.
1) Picture of 9 year-old was indeed 'liked'* - So, a statement of fact. Dear me!
2) Question posed regarding "law enforcement say(s)" - One cannot pose this question? Give me a break!
3) Definition provided ("that is pedophilia") - Well, being wrong about a definition isn't exactly a crime.
So please, don't be a moron.

I call shenanigans on this - if it's deplorable why would you quote it in full again. Also, the lower case "a" and upper case "B" pisses me off.

Pretty sure LetsRun is getting a taste of what he likely dished out to LVM.

Mike: this thread isn't going away. Keep having your lawyer contact LetsRun, etc. What's he charging you - $450/hour? And he probably bills in 7.5 minute increments? You're gonna bankrupt yourself in short order.

This shows that Mike Rossi doesn't even know his pop culture. What an idiot.
