I am serious.. There must be somebody with enough education and background here to explain it to me.
He seems to have a pretty good life. Wife, kids. Job he likes. Enough cash to be more than comfortable. So he cheats to get into Boston.. I get that..
But since he was caught and exposed his actions just defy logic.... Like a lifetime movie...
Ken should tweet a pic of himself covered in head to toe with BAA gear with a caption like "apparently you don't have to qualify to wear it." Some of the old stuff is on Ebay for really cheap.
Mike was wearing the 2014 jacket before cheating to run the race in 2015.He has no idea, none, zero. The dude is whack-o.But I hope he gets a 2016 gift form rojo and wears it with pride. Oh yeah.

Yasso has said as much. He wants the charity to worry about the charity and not waste time investigating a cheat from over a year ago now. It's a cop out answer of course as they probably never did the original investigation.
That's nonsense, and Bart Yasso should know better, instead of just following what Barb McKeever and Lisa Walkiewicz and the other clowns did.
http://youtu.be/8Zyt60xlDFgMaybe I would think about understanding that he was in none of the photos if it where some small marathon where less than 20 people finished under 3:30, but you are talking about a huge marathon where over 250 people finished under 3:30. There is no way a runner who finishes 150 out of 1,000 can not be in ONE photo
Just absurd

Weren't the statistical chances of THAT happening 1 in 500,000?
I always said the probability measures are irrelevant because they assume it was actually possible for him to run 3:11. Its like saying he had a 1:500,000 of running the varsity race meanwhile he's on the JV team, just not possible.

Shouldn't Bart Yasso know better then?
http://youtu.be/Ky5r4V_o5qwI guess, as Fat Fingers would say, watching this guy chase after BAA logos and the ability to say "I ran Boston" is like watching a cat with a laser pointer, even more so with the Turkey Trot antics and the fake training logs now.

Adidas doesn't sell BAA gear in plus sizes.

I must admit that I love making cats chase lasers. Don't tell my friends with cats.

We all know Rossi regularly reads these posts. So Mike... how's about responding to Mike Ross's note. The floor is all yours, bud. Go for it! (this should be good.)

Let me get that for him: "It's not true that I didn't appear in race photos. There are numerous pictures of me on the course."
Translation: "There are half a dozen pictures of me as I crossed the finish line, which is technically on the course."

Please refer all questions regarding Mr. Rossi to AOL Lawyer/Uber driver/snow plower.
I'll answer for him: "I had to 'duck' to retie my shoes constantly so it must have happened at each photo area. And remember, people run marathons all the time and never appear in a single photo."

Mike Rossi -
"Fake friends believe in rumors, real friends believe in you."
Well I guess that means you have no real friends. If you had any real friends or any real friends left, who honestly believed in you, they would be willing to post on Facebook, Twitter, or some other verifiablesocial media outlet on your behalf, heck perhaps write something in the comments section of Patch or do an interview. As of right now, that has not happened. In fact, since the Patch article, people who know you have come out and confirmed what many already believed about you, your character and your demeanor. In fact, no one has stepped forward and defended you except a bunch of made up names here and perhaps Twitter, although I can't remember any. Any here are likely you. By the way, how is Lydia doing? Please give "her" our regards. Besides an occasional "Like" on Twitter, which is probably you doing the "liking" of your own posts, you get none and certainly no retweets. So tell us, who are your real friends and where are they? Why isn’t your family defending you? The reason no real friends or family are stepping forward on your behalf is the same reason that VIA did not say that they believed you ran the entire race or that you been exonerated, that is because they can’t say they believe you. Your so called real friends are the same ones snickering and laughing behind your back here, on Facebook (especially after the Patch article), at school functions, in the neighborhood or club, in your face, etc.?
In addition, what has been asserted about you are not rumors. You did cheat, you have been caught in several lies, and attempted to pass off fake etch-sketch runs. Of course, if you had real friends as you profess, then as a real friend to them, you should not lie to them about the things you did or did not do. Do you tell them about the nasty things you say about people's children , that you question kids about who their parents are, the threats you make to people who are injured or have a disability, or the lies about pictures being “given†to you? People who are "yes" friends, that is, those who do not question you but just agree are not true friends. True friends will challenge you (perhaps these friends have the same inability to think critically and analyze facts, like yourself), and in spite of your weaknesses and faults, will stand by you after you are truthful because they believe in you. You have not given your so called friends any reason to be real friends as you have lied to their face.
So, what rumors are you referring to because as far as I can tell, there are no rumor regarding your running, cheating and lying.
Why not take this opportunity here, rather than tweeting your moronic crap or coming in here under one of your many assumed names trying to paint yourself as a victim and explain how it that you did not show up in one picture at 5 professional photographic checkpoint, provide the photos supposedly given to you by VIA (although we now know that didn’t happen), provide the GPS data from VIA and explain how you somehow ran past over 650 other runners at the Haddon Township Turkey Trot for a PR, yet no one saw you.
At this point, you have nothing to lose. In fact, I submit that your continued silence on these points and public twitter belligerence is costing your more than you can even imagine.

Sshhhh. You're giving him ideas...
He's answered this. He has photos that weren't posted online. He's just waiting for an opportune time to release them. He already gave us a sneak peak of one of them. And GregTR had the audacity to dispute the authenticity.
