Been reading lots of post here and the thought came to my mind...what is you were Mike but DID NOT cheat?
Would you not provide every single shred of evidence to clear your name? If a pic showed you on the Via course, why would you not use it? 6 or 7? Of course you would.
Why deal with the humor and arrows if there was no earthy reason to do so?
Why, rather than give data you say you have, you issue death threats to those who questioned you?
It is very curious Mike would do these things, yet there he goes off to court on Monday.
Because he punched a woman.
And there is Barb and Gerry and Bart, who enabled all that came after their cowardly, spineless decision to let Mike skate. Happy Via?
Here's my prognostication:
If charges are dropped Mike continues to threaten to kill those he considers enemies.
If anything else happens, Mike continues to threaten to kill those he considers enemies.
He will never come clean, he is too cowardly. He will lose all that he has to save that race he never ran, the 2014 Via Marathon. No sane person who did not cheat would go down this road.
Cheater Mike Rossi, self before all others. No "daddy" would ever do this, family would come first. Love would come first. Pride, false as it is, would not come first.
Tragedy can only be his destiny, given the precedent of his actions. There is no way to reach him, we can only hope others can be protected from him even if they cannot help themselves.
