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

What lie about his life will be told today by this thread?

What is like dedicating so much energy to ruin someone's life because that are physically more gifted than you?

Let's review the facts - the people on this site have desperately pleaded to DQ Mike and they failed. They failed because they produced no real evidence - only speculation.

Hi!

Trick question but the first answer would be:

"Mike Rossi did not cheat or lie his way into Boston."

with a close second:

"Mike's life is FABULOUS!"

ALL LIES!

It is only your opinion and speculation that he cheated. It was looked into and they did not disqualify him.

Touche.....plus he will be on the 2017 list too. 3-peat.

No, it is not my opinion. Rossi, seriously, you cheated and subsequently lied about. It is fact that YOU cheated and lied about it, just like Lance Armstrong, except he was much more successful than you.

The fact that some kangaroo committee with other motivations, that is, money, decided not to DQ you does not equate to looking into it or that you ran the race. They did not contact runners that would have been in or around you based on your bogus time. I haven't even addressed the physical improbability of you running the best time of your short running life at the age of 47 given your previous pace times at shorter distances.

STOP THE LYING! You realize that the more you continue the charade, the more we will keep pointing out the truth so it will be memorialized for all to see......forever.

I don't think Mikey had the cajones to try to steal the $10k because he knew that would be committing a crime.

He wanted to justify his time with the lowest hanging fruit available to his chubby, diminutive fingers.

The lie is more important to The Cheater Mike Rossi than money or family or just about anything else in his miserable existence.

Play that funky karaoke Mike boy!

Assume that I am Mike if it makes you feel better. So far this thread really hasn't done any damage. He qualified and ran Boston. Period. He set a goal and went for it. The guy is raising a family and starting his own business, so it's just ridiculous that people are still trying to ruin his life. If you don't want people to cheat at marathons then do something that actually proves people cheated. There is no evidence, only opinions of his capabilities. That's what makes this so funny.

When I run a race, I don't make sure that I provide proof that I run it, I just race it. I don't go to the photographer and make sure he knows to take my picture in case some weirdos question me running it.

If he cheated, then you have to prove it.

I have been on this thread from the beginning. Look at all these people against Mike - Ken Stilman - complete lazy fraud, the Cecily news anchor - she is not considered a class act in Philly. And then a bunch of faceless people doing pseudo statistics to prove he wasn't capable of running. Mike is the only one out of everyone who has actually progressed with his life. And he did it with all this BS around him. So I respect him more than the other people

You have the same curious blind spot as Litton, he seemed to think it credible that random people would turn up on the internet and lie on his behalf.

Do a Google search for your name - no damage ?

It is you that ruined things by being compelled to draw attention to your "achievement" with the letter to the principal - had you not said anything you would probably have got away with it.

Amazing that someone with your self-proclaimed prowess didn't take the easy $100000 that Rojo offered you.

Mikey's favorite Google image search to find quotes to post on his Facebook, a case of "kettle meet pot".

The "Haters are like crickets..." is his latest:

Or ineptitude, as the case may be

YMMV

I've thought about the $100,000 offer. I remember when I told my wife that I wanted to qualify for Boston. I sacrificed a lot both in terms of my work and my family duties to achieve my goal. Thyear leading up to qualifying felt like if I wasn't running, I was recovering. And it costs me money not only in running expenses but also lost work and lost business. I was making less than half of what I was making before I started my venture. I also lost business and missed opportunities. But it was worth it.

But when it was over my wife basically said "that's it, know you need to focus on this family." So I put running aside and focused on growing my business.

And it looks like the same thing happened to Mike. If you are starting your own business it makes absolutely zero sense to sacrifice that much time to make a $100,000 that would be a non-recurring cash flow. It would be a one time payment and he would only take home $60,000.

How old are you people? Do you not understand how the real world works?

Rossi you scumbag, you should read this thread about a real man, an honest, upstanding man, something you'll never be. Here is a post from that thread:

"observer of posting trends

LR is a very divisive place. But there have always been a handful of personalities whose auras rose above the conflict and united the board.

Ed Whitlock was #1.

Not only are Ed's performances astounding, but nobody even on LR accused him of PED use. Or of course-cutting, or any other unethical behavior. He might be the only runner in the history of this board who has commanded this much respect.

If any of you think you can beat his times at 70+, keep us updated. We'll be watching here..."

Not. He would have to pay taxes on that

Liar.

You are correct with the "easy $100000" for an athlete like Mike. But don't forget that would be only pocket change for such a wealthy business man.

Last but not least, with his noble character, Mike wouldn't dream of bankrupting letsrun, which has given so much to the running community.
