I believe it has been brought up before that Mike likely threatened to sue VIA if they disqualified him, despite The Cheat signing a waiver that included this:
"I agree to abide by any and all rulings of event officials, even if such ruling results in my disqualification."
Trolls and Mike's minions aside, I believe we should all come together and express support to VIA to DQ Mike, and further to donate to a legal defense fund should such a need arise.
Let's make it happen.

Screw VIA!
They've had months to do the right thing and plenty of people have been saying all along that we'd have their back in the event of a lawsuit (that had zero chance of happening anyhow). They can DQ Rossi or they can continue to turn a blind eye to obvious cheaters...
To me, it no longer matters. I will never again run that race unless the entire race management team is replaced. The Via Lehigh Valley Marathon is a disgrace to the road racing scene and should be stripped of its Boston qualifier status. There is no point in gouging race participants by putting up costly new timing mats if the race director won't disqualify even the most obvious of cheats. The odds of a participant's chip malfunctioning and them posting zero split times is far more likely than missing every single photo checkpoint at last year's race.
Barb McKeever, you are a complete joke!
Go and race-direct color runs and stay away from actual races!
