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

BRilliant! Well done!!!

Thank you kindly. Cheater Mike inspires us all.

Hate to say it, but this thread is long since overcooked. How many times can the same stuff get said, restated, and restated again? The 'regulars' on this thread now only jump on comments that are thought to come from MR himself. Do you think that was really Hal Higdon that posted?

It's pretty much over unless MR races again or puts himself out there in some way. He isnt gonna race a marathon between now and July 1. There are few anyway, and none likely "fast courses." In fact, my guess is that he will not race again indefinitely or forever - That's the punishment (along with all the articles culminating the the biggest loser one) - a somewhat self-imposed ban from running/racing - very Litton-esque. Litton hasnt raced for years to anyone's knowledge. Both would be heckled and derided ad nauseum. Sad part about Litton is that he was a decently competitive age group caliber runner, unlike Rossi.

The even sadder part about Litton is that given his prolific cheating, how could you know any performance of his was genuine? Therefore how can you come to any conclusions about how competitve he was?

I like the new one added for Hal!

The Wild Half meme is brilliant as well!

Maybe, but we're still having fun at the Cheater Mike Rossi's expense and the story is not over, not over by a long shot. Sometimes, like in training, you put your head down and push on. Mile after mile. Month after month. Year after year.

Good things happen, will happen. But not for Mike.

Well put. It's the same 12 girls gossiping to each other to no end from day 1. Mike was cleared and moved on a long time ago. No one is listening to these pathetic loonies. Then again, I almost feel bad for them since they are in the company of Ken. This thread was never about running because if it was it would have ended at page 2 since Mike was already proven innocent. This was always just a big witch hunt by a bunch of envious losers who can't stand to see a popular, successful and happy guy run fast.

It is not the same stuff. In December he was named and won the honor of being Philadelphia's #1 Biggest Loser by Philadelphia Magazine. He is also in running to be in the top 10 again based on what I have heard from the publisher. In addition, the has been a number of recent articles referencing him this year. Finally, he comes in here under various handles, always talking in the third person, which is absurd because NO one, not even a family member, has even defended him. EVER.

I REST MY CASE. HERE SHE IS. MIKEY ROSSI. I am guessing that max power is also Mike. I will see if the IP addy matches.

Hi Liar Mike!

22 min is okay for an AG guy, but it is not fast. You are not fast. 3:40+ is not fast. You are a cheat and a liar and Philly's #1 Loser so Mike Wins!!!

Idiot.

The only thing about Litton we can say for sure was his obsession with Boston. He wore all the Boston garb just like Mike in many races.

However some did believe he had some legit finishes if I recall. I think in the 3:20 range it I recall and maybe faster when he was younger. It has just been so long I don't remember.

Mike OTOH never had came close to being a 3:25 marathoner. Sad thing is if he put the work in... like running some good mileage he probably could have done a legit 3:25 maybe even better.

I think he may have run one legit marathon, and when he realized as a newbie hobby jogger what was involved in running fast and far he decided cheating would be his ticket to Boston. A 3:25 with a lot of work, maybe, but I think given his mechanics he could never do the training to get there without a real injury, not some rossied one.

The one thing we know for sure is the 3:11:45 was completely off the charts for him as the brojos and others have clearly delineated and put their money on the line to prove his deception. Mike, otoh, just busts his own chops. A paper tiger? A paper putty tat stroked by Barb McKeever.

Mike, let's get this straight. Your 4:01 at Boston was not "fast." Your 3:43 was not "fast." Even the 3:11 you cheated your way to was not "fast." The US record for guys your age is 2:16. That's nearly an hour faster than the time you cheated your way to. The guy who won M45 at Boston this year ran a 2:27. That's fast. Your 3:11, which is not even yours, would have put you 20 minutes behind the winner of the Women's division of 45-49.

20 minutes. Mull that over. That time you cheated to achieve would have had you running nearly a minute per mile slower than a woman your age. The difference is that she didn't cheat, and you did.

Was this all worth it?

Is Cecily one of the 12 basement trolls or is there an application process?

You obviously have no ethics

"LOL. More likely Earth gets a direct hit by Saturn than he actually runs (not drives) a 3:11 marathon!"

Boom! There it is!

Mike prefers the Michelin Man to Phil Knight on "race" day.

The Mikey saying he was cleared is not the same as actually being cleared. The problem is that we have repeatedly showed your propensity to lie (and ease of your lying is frightening and concerning). The official statement by the Committee, seen here:

, never cleared you. If anything, it makes you look guilty. If you had been cleared or exonerated, you would have taken the alleged 12 trolls (considering all your various handles here, I assume you are counting them) to court for libel. However, in order to do that, you would then have to provide proof that you did run, something you cannot do and something that the Committee did not say, that is, that they had any proof that you ran the race. They can't say that, because they don't have any.

Here is a great exchange further demonstrating his lies about GPS data and such, where he says one thing in an interview and something else on a Facebook chat.

#Priceless.

The fact is, people are listening. You are now the most cited example of the infamous cheater in articles published worldwide. What is so effing amazing is that if you have exculpatory evidence, you would provide it and shut everyone up. #Indenial The mere fact that you haven't and that not one single friend (if there are any left) or more importantly, family member has come to your defense. Actions speak louder than words. In your case, the inaction by friends and family speaks volumes. But both your own actions and your own lying words, memoralized for all to see forever, speak the loudest. We are not putting words into your mouth.
