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

I actually agree. I think all things that loser, Mike Rossi says, is wrong.

I think that loser, Mike Rossi is terrible.

Mike's starting to piss me off again. His business goes back in the thread title.

I'm sorry I'm a loser.

When you refused to say it was wrong, despite being given multiple chance to say it was.

At least 3 direct questions, asking you if it was wrong. You refused. Why is that?

Tell us: DO YOU THINK WHAT LOSERMIKEROSSI SAID ABOUT A TEEN GIRL WAS WRONG?

Answer it. If you don't say it is wrong, then you are implicitly agreeing with it.

Any decent person would say it is wrong. Just answer me. Simple as that.

I want an apology. You've gone too far with this statement.

Once again you've refused to say it was wrong.

You won't.

You're not very bright. You should be a DJ.

I said above (you look for it) that I don't approve of it. But I also think you're grasping to divert.

Not answering all your questions only shows that I don't have time for stupid East Coast Event Group DJs.

It was all Marcia's fault.

She wandered outside, not paying attention, with her panties all wet from talking on the phone with Doug Simpson (the big man on campus).

And instead of paying attention to the hazards and horseplay that come with having a backyard covered in AstroTurf™, she was thinking about how good Doug's big, throbbing school ring would feel on the chain around her neck when he took her to the next school dance.

ROSSI & ROSSI

WAS WHAT HE SAID WRONG.

YES OR NO?

I looked. Didn't find it.

Since I'm not very bright, simply quote where you said it was wrong.

Lets stop responding to Rossi (or a really annoying troll). Nobody here cares about what LoserMikeRossi wrote.

This thread is about you, Mike, and how you cheated to qualify for Boston, as evidenced by Lehigh Valley being such a huge outlier in terms of performance, your lack of training, the fact that you are the only runner in the entire race without pictures of yourself on the course (other than the finish line), and by the fact that you barely mentioned your race of a lifetime online, after blogging endlessly about your other races and even individual workouts.

Mike Rossi - You are a marathon course-cutter, a cheater and a liar!

Now can we all please respond to posts with "East Coast Event Group" in the subject line?

I'm not going through all the pages. But if you need it in a short answer - yes - it is disgusting. But I didn't say it. I didn't address it. So look elsewhere for your faux outrage.

But thank you. This is the kind of thing that makes me want to promote Mike Rossi cheating to a larger audience.

ROSSI & ROSSI - YOU NEVER SAID YOU DIDN'T APPROVE OF IT. YOU JUST DUCKED THE QUESTION.

I've quoted every post of you since I asked this question:

Triathleteguru asked for a status update on the next version of the time-lapse photo video. I've looked very hard at the other photo checkpoints, and the bridge is the only one that has 199 of the top 200. Checkpoint #2 (MLK and Lehigh Streets) has 179 of 200, and Checkpoint #3 (mile 22.5) has 195 of 200. I also found a photo set on Lehighvalleylive.com that has about 100 of the top 200 runners photographed going past a location on the towpath (if really you want to get an idea of how hot it was that day, check out that photo set).

http://photos.lehighvalleylive.com/4424/gallery/lehigh_valley_health_network_v_3/index.html

To someone not versed in statistics, the above numbers would seem to suggest - "hey, not everyone was photographed at those locations, so Rossi could easily have run the whole race and just been missed by random chance". So I'm hesitant to publish a new video with additional timelapses. If I do, I'll probably have to add some title slides explaining that to find the actual odds that the same runner did run through _all four spots_ and was missed randomly by the photographers each time, you need to multiply the binomial probabilities of being missed at each photo location , i.e., (1/200)x(21/200)x(5/200)x(100/200) = 1 in 152 381. If I were a RD and someone told me that the odds that one finisher in particular actually ran the course were only one in one hundred fifty thousand I personally would DQ that finisher. As I said in my previous post, that is actually just a lower limit on the odds; if you factor in the other spots where he could have been photographed, the odds get slimmer. Unfortunately, it is obvious the VIA RD doesn't understand statistics, so a DQ is not likely forthcoming. The best bet is probably to get enough people who do understand statistics to watch the video, and then get them to explain it to her.

That wasn't so hard, now was it?

You were able to deflect the conversation for a little while. Of course, you also helped increase the posts on this topic. Good luck tonight at the high school graduation party. Please play the funky chicken song.

Guys this thread is so amazing. I have read every post of this thread. Never stop commenting until Rossi is DQ'ed. I can't be the only one following but not commenting. Until now.

I always hated LetsRun cause the boards looked scrub but this thread has changed my opinion. The rollercoaster ride of The Accusation, The Research, More Research, The Proof, THE DOG BEING BODY SLAMMED, The Waiting, The Decision, The Lawyers, The Denial, I AM MIKE ROSSI, The Trolls The Relentless Pursuit of Justice Against All Odds.

It has brought me hours of pure enjoyment watching the twist and turns that this thread has taken. Beautiful and well done to all. Except the POS Rossi.
