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

It might have to be a legitimate ad for a real entity. Maybe a Letsrun ad wishing runners good luck and reminding them not to "Rossi the course"

He runs over 2 minutes faster than the Newtown race at the Rocky run only 3 weeks later? That even sounds fishy.

Mike still has all of his accounts locked down. Barb McKeever and the LVHN Via marathon will answer no questions and will block anyone who does so. No pictures have been shown of Mike on the course at Via. Via race officials lied about contacting runners.

No one has come forward with corroborating evidence that the 12 trolls know of. Zero. No family member support in this regard either. Mike has viscously attacked those who question him while not offering a shred of evidence he claims to have with equal enthusiasm. He seems to have gone pretty much silent since his arrest, unless you have proof he has been visiting here.

The question remains among the living, why has he not been DQed.

It's hard not to throw many of his later times including the Philly Marathon PR into question.

A cheat, a liar, a criminal. I guess the qualifications for Daddy of the Year have been lowered somewhat.

Are we sure this isn't our Mike as well?

Post arrest

Rossi has finally clammed up. He is making the smart move two years too late.

Rojo - did you ever interview Barb McKeever?

Indeed, that woman got away with way too much incompetence. No hard questions were ever publicly documented.

She is an enabler like those spouses of an alcoholic.

How about interviewing her advisors from USATF? Surely USATF won't deny a request for an interview for someone with letsrun's press credentials.

Then we'll all get to see the evidence.

1) Does anyone know where I can find all of Rossi's race results since the challenge was posted? I'd like to recap how the guy has come nowhere close. So either give me a link or post his race results for the last calendar year.

Well actually, he came quite close. He ran several 5k's around 20 min, validating his 3:11. Most of them unofficially, but also for example a 20:20 or so at a Turkey trot.

You got lucky that he couldn't get bothered to go after your $200,000. After all, that's not even pocket change for such an online personality with several photo booths and whatnot.

There IS NO EVIDENCE THAT HE RAN, or for that matter, even walked. There is only evidence that he didn't via (no pun intended) the lack of any photographs and he was the only runner without any photos at any of the five photo checkpoints. Had there been any evidence, the Committee would have said so.

He will NEVER be DQ'd he will never admit he cheated STALEMATE end of story

this thread will never end not even pokemon go will make anyone here leave their houses

In 2018 Vince fiorillo will still be writing #1 loser articles Ken will maybe be head waiter at ihop or sonic burgers

Mike will be dj at hillbilly hanks joint in Hicksville Oklahoma taking selfies as he spins Hank Williams and Loretta Lynn oldies trying to make enough for his next months alimony payment

Did I forget anything?

I trust you understand Smartrunnr injects lighthearted sarcastic humor, not trolling into this thread. I still maintain there should be a brokered confession spearheaded by rojo in exchange for not writing a follow up article about the expiration of the challenge. I know, not gonna happen.

Since the deadline is about to pass, how about Rossi attempts a cross country run in order to keep the excitement going. Or would the anger management class obligation make this impossible for now?

If you mean about Rossi, then yeah well, Rossi does keep coming up with dumbo type things to get himself up there with the best (worst?) losers.

Not really, he just makes up shit for reasons best known to himself, he once emailed me with "evidence" that someone called Mike Ross ran in a race which anyone who read the thread already knew, he then got all pissy and hissy when I asked him what his motives are. Some people can dish it out but can't take it in return.

Movie night at Mikey's place. He's fantasizing about his future life here:
