I'm insulted that EZPM wasn't included.

Then again, a lot about Chicken Dance Mike insults me. From fake hair to cheating toe.

If he started naming everyone we'd be at 50k already.

Ar-Ar! Ar! Ar! You and Hillary have much in common.

Cheeto?

Looks like I broke the poor little cuck. :(

All he can do is say "Cheeto?" on loop.

Unless he gets caught of course. Then cowers behind the skirt for protection.

In April 2015, a viral post on Facebook about the Boston Marathon kicked off a wave of controversy. In this week’s episode, we explore how that controversy turned into a full-blown movement.

Today, a league of at-home vigilante race investigators are changing the way we police marathons online for everyone to see. The story takes us from a race in Pennsylvania to the Boston Marathon to a set of spreadsheets (yes, really) to a runner in a suburb in New Jersey. For those outed online, we wonder if the punishment fits the crime.

I thought this was one cheat who had withdrawn from the public eye, just like Rossi has tried to do, seems they're marked for life. I can just see it in two hundred years time when they do one of those 'Who Do You Think You Are?" programs: "and this is one of your ancestors who was a notorious cheat..."

Looks like another one's been pinged too:

Will they ever learn or come clean?

No. Mike is incapable of doing this, he is an evil person to make this his family legacy, it will be what he and they are known for, their lifetime fame. A mother who would not protect her children from his narcissistic excessives.

Mike Waa...what an assh*le.

The two facts I laughed hardest about; he claims he has photos of him on the course that were not taken by US Candids. Yes that would be the two selfies at the start. He also still vehemently denies the cheating allegations. Dude You were cleared by the USATF why are you still going on about this.

Quick question, how much did the impound lot charge to get your van and DJ equipment out after everyone else went into the concert?

Surely the wifey picked it up for the Mikey with help from the children.

Mikey claims "6 or 7" photos. He is a lying sack of sh*t. But everyone knows that.

An anesthesiologist... Comforting to know a marathon cheat is putting people to sleep just before surgery.

Wikileaks

In following up on the mentioned of US Candids.......For those of you who may not have seen what is contained in the link below before, this is one of the email threads that I had with Mr. Rossi early on in this sad saga.

Some background is warranted. The genesis of this interaction began when Mr. Rossi claimed he had an injury when he ran Boston (not really relevant to VIA, but he used it as an excuse as to why his Boston time was so slower than his VIA time. What is a better question is why his per mile pace for much shorter races prior to VIA were no where near his pace at VIA. Mismatch between one's marathon pace and 5k pace) and further claimed he had an MRI to prove it. He was taken to task on Facebook for his refusal to show it, as was the case about any "proof" he allegedly had. I called him out about it here, saying he lied and posted an email address for him to send me his proof of the MRI. As I mentioned in the email thread, I could really care less about his MRI. He eventually showed snippets of the MRI to GregTR.

During this email exchange he claimed he was given a flash drive by the Committee that had pictures that were not on US Candids final cut!!! I contacted US Candids by email and phone and was told that ALL photos were placed online, and thus analyzed by some great LR members who ticked and tied the pics to each racer with the exception of Mr. Rossi. This final cut statement by Mr. Rossi is very telling on several levels, in particular that he lied. In addition, if the Committee had some other pictures that proved he was on the course, they most certainly would have said so rather than issuing their pablum statement of nonsense. Instead they issued a statement that made no positive attribution to Mr. Rossi as none was deserved nor supportable. Further telling is why anyone under the attack and level of doubt that he was would continue to claim they had exculpatory evidence but not share it with anyone.

Man I have asked Mike to meet me in person so many times and he has backed down or not responded every time. Thanks for sharing the email exchange.

It's a well-proven fact that the cheat Mike Rossi of Jenkintown, PA, is a world-class liar, why can't RW bring these FACTS to light instead of some chickensh*t soap opera presentation? Giving "both" sides of a story is meaningless when one side is based on lies that can be proven beyond even a shadow of doubt as such.

We live in a milquetoast society where feelings mean more than getting to the truth. What is the truth other than the b@stard child of integrity.

Let's toss out the clocks and timers and RDs (who the ef needs them anyway, certainly not Via) and make The Boston Marathon an open fun run for all!

Hillary and now Mikey.

Oh, Mikey, Mikey, Mikey, when will it all end?

Looks like you'll be in the running for Philly's Biggest Loser, again!

Interesting sequence of emails, an insight into the mind of a bully who in a 1 to 1 email exchange claims to know who someone is to try and intimidate but doesn't do the obvious and prove this claim. Then again making claims that could be easily proved but failing to do so seems to be his M.O.

The interesting thing about those emails from Rossi is how he comes across as a smug over confident smart arse and it's not difficult to imagine him with that smug shit eating grin on his face while typing them.

Funny how the worm has turned since those times.
