Also, give them the thumbs up if you like them and that will make them more searchable.

HEY SCREW YOU ROSSI! I hope you rot in hell getting a$$ pumped by dane and kip!

Am I the only one that finds his boston finishing photo odd? 4 hours has a ton of folks finishing. Not another person in his photo. I ran 3 times and there were always multiple people in the finish photos.

Finally!! At last, the liberals on here will be be happy that my dad worked in the Bush administration for all 8 years. I should be able to get what we need by tomorrow - unless the recent supreme court decision will have blocked President Bush's access.

Last time I visited President Bush, I hopped on his computer and was reading Alberto's emails to Galen.

My dreams have become reality. Rojo quoted my post!!!

Mike,

It's me again. I've had some time to think about your predicament and I'd like to chat.

1. How do you respond to having two photo segments now that prove you weren't on the course at both the beginning and the end?

2. What has your home life been over these past few days? I know it must be all encompassing dealing with the constant questions and having to keep all your lies in order.

3. Have you thought about contacting Oprah to make your next public statement?

4. Did you ever think when you started running that you would some day be a household name one Letsrun? I personally put you up there with Kip Litton, Jason Rexing, Eddylee, No10kteg, Carmelita Cheater, etc etc

5. When you run your next Marathon have you considered wearing a GoPro or body cam?

I'm hoping Letsrun posts there article soon and I will have some additional follow up questions.

wowzersss, you in Australia?

No, unlike all of you I am currently in reality.

argumentum ad ignorantiam - hope you know Greek, d!pshit.

I wouldn't know. Been sending a LOT of time in my office, commenting on various articles on local and national web sites. I use about 5 different names per site, so that adds up a pretty big chunk o'time. My wife and kids totally do not seem to mind that they haven't seen me for five days now. I guess you could call it an excused absence.

No, Oprah's been contacting me. Mike Rossi has never been bigger, baby!

I'll be frank with you, I'd never heard of Letsrun until about five days ago. Been pretty lazer-focused on the old Boston Marathon. Maybe you've heard of it? It has been my childhood dream to run the Boston, which is the whole reason I started running at age 42.

No, I don't use any electronic equipment while running. I guess I'm just a purist that way. I don't want anything to distract me during a race from focusing on the Boston bombing victims. Call me a dinosaur, I guess, in this 21st Century electo-madness, but other than my ipod, cell phone and GPS device I'm basically Amish out there. That's just the Pennsylvania in my blood, I suppose.

"There" article? Looks like you have a bit of the BroJo Grammar Disease. I've heard that can happen to dweebs who sit on this forum all day instead of getting outside and running 15 miles per week like me.

Thanks, 534. That's great, objective work. No shaming needed. Evidence-based is the word of the day.

If anyone is friends with him on Facebook and can see if he has a blue jacket on (like the one in the marathon start photo) in any of his pictures that might help. I didn't see any on his Instagram but a lot of those pics seem to be from weddings.

At the start once the bulk of the runners pass there is someone in a blue jacket and black shorts walking back to start. Way in the background near portajohns and hospital sign. Continues to disappear in next few frames.

Don't see this blue jacket in other start pictures. Pretty hot day to have on a jacket.

Keep in mind that Magic Mike started in Wave 2. And most of those runners finish well before 4 hours.

1. I respond by saying I have my timing chip recorded at the start and finish and a photo of me finishing, it's just the bit in between that's a little bit problematical.

2. All family, friends and fans still hero worship me because they know I'm innocent of this scurrilous attack on my integrity and running ability.

3. She contacted me, I rejected her offers, not prime time enough for all my adoring fans to catch it and not enough money for what I'm worth I.e. $500,000 minimum .

4. No, but I couldn't be happier.

5. No need, the worlds media will have dedicated coverage of me alone, well not quite alone, I'll be surrounded by my adoring fans.

I think we're over thinking this. He jogged for a little then just stopped and went back to his car. No one would care. He then drove to the last relay and started running again. As long as you look like you belong, you can go about anywhere.

Agree, TFE. Just to slightly over think it, if it is him in the blue jacket he maybe didn't even jog, just stepped in directly from the side right next to the mat 30 seconds after the gun went, like he's a dumb spectator, and walked off back to the side directly after it, strolled down the course for a bit looking like a spectator, turned around and headed for the car.

funny....with all this going on...look what I got in the mail today!!

The best video of the start is here:

It the credits "video by Harry Fisher".

Rojo, have you contacted this videographer to get the uncut version of the start?

Just caught back up. Great work searching photos!

There have been a few on here stating that he will just wait this out and probably not get DQ'd because there isn't a smoking gun; I disagree. There is too much evidence against him, I think anything less than a DQ at Lehigh & Boston would be a shocker.

Stay vigilant!

Just in case some of you nasty LetsRun people think I'm up myself, I wish to make it totally clear and reiterate that OPRAH contacted ME, I DIDN'T contact her. After I rejected her overtures she told me she would just have to take Mayweather as a distant and poor second choice.

This guy and Kip Litton and a few other cheaters outed on this site are interesting because they have similar pathologies. They are so obsessed with getting the privilege of saying they are a Boston Marathon Runner that they don't care whether or not they legitimately qualify or run a PR at the race or even enjoy the run itself. To them, it's worth it as long as they get the privilege of getting photographed at the finish line with a finisher medal around their neck and being able to post it on their blog and Facebook. It's trying to get into a not-so-exclusive night, sneaking in after several failed attempts, getting a photograph of yourself pretending to be dancing and having fun, then immediately leaving. I would be surprised if his viral letter to the principle was a subtle way about bragging that he got a spot at the Boston Marathon.

That looks like a white hat though. 😐

His black one was soaking in a bucket of water back at the car.

No, if it was white it would stand out like the writing on the sign board in front of him, which is smaller and further away too.
