When they refuse or do not reply because your story has no merit are you going to bomb their op-ed and Facebook page and tell everyone how stupid the editor is?
Hi Mike!

Except it has a lot of merit, because you cheated, Mike. Remember how you didn't actually run the whole course, which is why you aren't in any of the photos from the course? Yeah, that's actually cheating, Mike. The point of a marathon is to cover the entire distance by foot. It's not just crossing the start line, making your way by whatever means possible to the finish line, and crossing the finish line. Its cheating if you do it that way, Mike.

His mistake was posting this on letsrun.
Mike's lawyers have already threatened Mark Singer into silence.

Why yes, that's exactly what I'll do because I'm a narcissist and I crave all the attention that I'm getting here! lol...
My story has merit. Now they might not publish anything because they believe everyone realizes at this point that Mike Rossi cheated, but not because the story doesn't have merit!
Ok, I've uploaded a new animated gif with the new bib spottings, and included bib 2161 finish line photo with caption 'not spotted' at the very end.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/fck4f2909z0zsr7/newmovie.gif?dl=0
If someone can figure out how to convert and upload an animated gif to youtube, please go ahead and post the URL here. Perhaps letsrun should offer a $100 reward if someone can spot bib 2161. Regarding copyright, I doubt this is an issue - these are the publicly available proof images, and no one is using them for personal profit (unless they claim the $100 prize). However, if the photo company objects, then I believe just submitting the video to the VIA race director will be sufficient. If you really want copyright violation, then just add Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here" as the soundtrack...
I also added the bib photo info to a new tab in the photo evidence spreadsheet:
Next step is to produce a video for the bikepath photo sequence...

Weren't there a couple of other RD's that were posting in this thread? We need an article that cites a handful of RD's who explain why they would disqualify MR. Let Doubler post it on his site with a title like "Panel of Race Directors explain how Lehigh Valley Runner could not have completed the LHVM" and link that to LVM's facebook page.
That seems like the kind of thing that would shake them up a little. We need to crowdfund Doubler to buy his domain name though. MarathonCheat.com sounds more credible than MarathonCheat.blogspot.com.
My guess is that Mike already bought the domain name for MarathonCheat.com. He might already be planning to use it as the title of his autobiography as well. We know he is good at planning ahead!
A video (made up of still photos) from one spot on the LVM course showing that Mike Rossi did not run past that spot is pretty damn strong evidence. But, I have to think that two such videos from two separate spots on the course would be conclusive, by anyone's definition. Thanks, BQer!

We can help him with that

If one has time to post and analyze here, one has time to send an email,
Oh my gawd just GIVE IT UP!
The man was talking about winning hockey games . . . you are talking about getting some pathetic man DQ'ed from a race so he can't get into a race that he already ran. Y'all lost to MR and just can't accept it.
It's over. The horse looks like a pink puddle now.
So now you're saying he rode a horse from the start to the last relay exchange, then killed the horse to get rid of the evidence? That seems awfully far-fetched, up there with the "he drank magic unicorn blood and turned invisible" theory. Why would he do that? It would be much easier to just drive. People would notice a guy riding a horse.

This isn't going away, Mike. Especially when you keep bumping this post to the top of the page with your pathetic attempts to douse the flames.
Your solution to this problem is like someone repeatedly banging their head against a wall in order to relieve a headache.
New Yorker has a great legal team. My guess is that they wouldn't be worried about any pipsqueak lawyers guys like Rossi or Litton may take up arms with

One of the things I so enjoy about this whole thread is narcissists like Mike envy others while believing others envy him. He went through all this Lehigh cheating/Boston qualifying nonsense so he could be just like like us, and he couldn't do it! He had to cheat! Yes, the same people he keeps imploring to get a life are the very same people he envies. Why? Because we can actually run BQ times, and Mike can't.
If Mike increases his mileage, he should be able to run a legit BQ. If I were him, I would probably be staying away from the road race scene though. Most runners capable of BQs know that he cheated and they're pissed that he hid behind a lawyer rather than admitting to his mistake.

Most outside of letsrun are deluded to think that qualifying for Boston is something few LetsRun posters can do and that we are just jealous of Dr. Litton and Mr. Rossi
MIKE ROSSI - since you obviously read this board given that you called your attorney the other regarding an innocuous quote from the movie Animal House, I want to take the opportunity to call your bluff one last time and see how truthful you are. You mentioned several times, captured here -
, that you are willing to share your MRI to prove that you are in fact injured. An individual's words are only as good as their action to back up those words. So, I. as well as many others, are respectively requesting that you please provide a copy of your MRI and technician's or Dr. Richard Goldberg's report with the diagnosis.
If you choose not to fulfill your prior offer, I think that will not only speak volumes, but also confirm many of the allegations about your character. Moreover, calling you a liar as a result of this cannot be considered libel because it would be the truth that you openly offered to share it and reneged. In fact, if you do not want to post a link here, you can send it to
.
While there are a lot of issues that you can try to claim "there is no proof" (no course photos, amazing time given limited training), but when you promise something, you are caught in your own lie.

What did you provide to him? A summary, the spreadsheets, etc?

Just sent an email here:
themail@newyorker.comand just said this:
"Thought I would reach out to you and suggest writing an article on the marathon cheater Mike Rossi. Since Mark Singer wrote the excellent article on Kip Litton, I thought he would be well qualified to write an article about Mike Rossi. There is a ton of good resource material in this thread on letsrun.com:
http://www.letsrun.com/forum/flat_read.php?thread=6479539&page=0As you can tell from the number of posts/pages, a lot of people are talking about this guy!"
Got a reply back that they are out until the 8th...
I had to head to work today and have limited computer access, so just did this fast, a little bit of research to find a direct contact to Mark Singer and a more through email would be awesome!
Is it possible Mr Rossi had a manic episode or was cycling through a period of mania associated with grandiosity or was on something? Im thinking it's possible with the ego being so high and going through the period of blasting the school principal combined with the creation of the custom t-shirts.
I'm thinking that a reasonable ,well-adjusted person would have received that letter from the principal in the mail and then have controlled his anger and have just worked out a reasonable thing with the principal instead of getting all pissed off and writing a letter right back at ch'ya.
This is just another angle to this by the way. It's pretty clear to me that he cheated at Lehigh VIA marathon.
You are sad and pathetic wrote:

I was thinking the same thing. Why doesn't Mike stop posting here and start posting on other threads to get this one to disappear onto page two? Then less runners will be aware of his cheating. He's just adding fuel to his own fire at this point.
Am I living in the twilight zone? The Boston Marathon weather was terrible!
