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

The word is out that Mike will try to go sub-20 in the 2015 Palmerton Wiggle Jiggle Giggle 5K on August 23rd.

Ken,

Please read my post history and see that I've been COMPLETELY anti-Mike and take that into account when you read this.

Go read the last 10 pages and see how many of the posts are about you vs about anything related to getting Mike DQed. You're going to see that there's way too much conversation about you.

I think this is exactly the point; tragically, this thread is the closet thing Ken has to friends. This thread has filled a void and it has become his life (which can only be because prior to this he had no life). Ken will never go away because he has nothing to go away to.

And, lets be honest. This thread isn't about cheating at a marathon anymore, it's a tragic look into the lives of a couple of guys living in a state of extended adolescence who've kept their college jobs as wedding DJ's in Philly. The sad pathetic lives of two mentally ill adults in a social media battle because neither of them can stand to here the truth be told about them. Reality TV is scripted and has nothing on this true reality sh*t show. And, as sad as this has all been with Mike at 47, imagine this scene 15 years from now.... Ken is long dead from a heart attack, and Mike, who misses Ken every single day, is 63 playing the chicken dance to a bunch of people less than half his age, yelling "it's go time" to a silent seated audience who are wondering who the hell hired some grandpa to be a DJ at this wedding. This true life story makes the ending to Grapes of Wrath seem happy in comparison.

Bravo.

I'm expecting an ending more like the old man and the sea. Ken is Santiago and when he finally catches Mike and drags him back to land, there is nothing left, but Ken will sleep dreaming of lions.

Bravo.

According to Ken, Mike has lots and lots and lots of friends who post here.

How long until you start posting about my family, Ken?

You really are way more similar to Mike than you are different.

I never posted about anybody's family except for Mike's. But you did. We had 14 people investigating Mike and I didn't give a sh!t about any of your pasts or families, and I still don't.

Somehow you think if you post my MIL's name or the paper she works for I'm supposed to get as mad as Mike does when we discuss his family? Bravo for you. You know how to work the Google machine on the interwebs.

You can post anything you want about me or my family. I have no skeletons in my closet. That's what frustrates Mike so much. All he has is my past legal problem that has been resolved already. The real question is what will he have on you now that he knows your name? It must be good.

Is there anything else you want to know about my MIL? I think you'll find she's a saint, like Dorothy Mantooth. I'll give you her phone number and you can try and turn her against me, like you have already threatened to do - but she won't. After knowing her 18 years she knows I am a good guy. Her grandson is turning out to be a great kid. Finding dirt on me or my family is going to frustrate you as much as it has Mike.

Check your blog email I just sent you something

Nice!!! Thanks

Now that Doubler knows I want to proudly and publicly announce that his efforts with his blog have contributed to yet another DQ. Kara Knobloch Moore is being disqualified and the race director is sending the updated results to Boston without her name in it. This opens up a spot to a worthy BQer, well done Doubler!

Mike Rossi already ran Boston so its too late to take that away but we just avoided another cheater from stealing a Boston experience from a worthy qualifier!

AWESOME. And Mike, don't think it's not going to happen. And it won't be nearly this quiet.

Excellent.

LMR, we've received a number of complaints that you are posting about Mr. Rossi's family. Please stop or you will be banned. We are tried of deleting these posts.

How many chances is he going to get, I really hope that this is the final one. I want the focus of this thread to primarily be Mike Rossi along with other race cheaters. This is a running forum after all.

I never threatened to contact your mother in law. Someone else wanted details, and I declined. I mentioned that your mother in law is the reporter..and I did throw out the name of the paper..

I never posted her name- I don't know it, nor do I care.

My only goal is to get you to stop the nonsense. You are acting like an article is imminent in here and that news is coming, and it's no closer than it was a month ago. You lie on here and exaggerate--I only posted what I did to bring out the real story after your lies and exaggerations.

Nothing I've posted is damaging to you.

Saw her comments on the blog and it looks like she owned up to it and asked to be DQed. Wild story about seizures and amnesia, but it might be true and the point is that she owned up to it and accepted the DQ.

IF what the timing company told me is true--that she hit the half way cheater mat, then it was orchestrated and pre-planned. Regardless, I'm just glad she won't be running Boston.

Ya, but at least she copped to it. I think the London guy who ran sub 4 minute pace from 13 - 20 miles never did admit to cheating.

Agreed. Bottom line she got the DQ and they are re-sending their list of qualifiers to Boston. The rest, while interesting is not relevant at this point.
