High school runner caught cheating again

"Our headquarters is located at the FloSports HQ in Austin, Texas"

My information is 100% correct. I know this guy personally so don't try and say I am wrong.

HEY! I'm a real guy so shut your trap, kid. I lost third place :( it was going to make my future years great! That race would have set my future and I'd totally gotten a scholarship had I gotten 3rd in that race! You know it! I know it! Everybody knows it!

All his social media is deleted now...

Union City teammate of his was able to give me this.

Okay, I'm going to clear this up since there's ALOT of accusations being thrown left and right with no credible evidence. I go to Memorial HS (the school where Terry used to go to). I was there when he "left" the team. Reason why he left? He was accused of stealing one of the captain's racing spikes after an indoor meet in the 2014-2015 season. There was a whole investigation done by the school and in the end, the school suspended a few of our runners for "bullying" poor Terry through a messaging app. Terry left on his own, no one kicked him out. I wasn't suprised when this happened granted that Terry was an awful person to coach. He never listenened to our actual coaches during workouts and was often seen arguing with them. He is also a pathological liar (obviously). Telling stories that weren't true, lying to classmates, etc. None of that has changed.

Terry remained in the school for the remainder of the year but did not run for us. He ran at a few meets as an unattached runner but not even I know if he did then without cheating. The following school year he transferred to Union City High School where I heard he also had problems with the coach. He would run on his own and followed his own training regimen because he did not believe in the abilities in his coach and believed he was better. That's just how Terry is. Throughout the remainder of the year, Terry ran at random meets open for anyone but as we can see from this thread, none of them were true races. One of my old teammates (who ran a 1:53) said that Terry offered him $100 and a pair of beats headphones if he would race for Terry since he was "injured." Obvious bullshit. Into this cross country season, he ran a few races with his team but left due to disputes with the coach again. That's how he ended up where he is now.

P.S. For the record, Terry IS 18. I can verify this. I've known him since middle school where he is still the little weirdo he is now.

P.P.S Tanima is actually not a real company but a group of Terry and his friends who go into abandoned buildings and take pictures dangling from the top. Crazy shit.

his teammates are posting link to the mile split story

Thanks, good post. There is a legit company called Tanima Inc, Terry has just appropriated the name to use on his Facebook site with him as the "Managing Director".

Looks like his Facebook site can't be accessed now, he's following this thread.

Terry, some friendly advice, alter your ways before it's too late and come on here and come clean, otherwise there's going to be major repercussions for you down the track, because once it's on the internet, it's there for ever. Your choice.

Article with quotes from his Athletic Director:

Great GIPHY, well done. Seems he has the opposite problem to Mike Rossi, Terry gets himself in to too many photos/videos.

I don't get this it has to be a joke. If MileSplit did in fact accuse Terry wrongly, first thing they'd do is a full retraction. That's what's done in journalism.

Besides, how did they falsely accuse him? What was not correct?

Someone needs to further explain all this.

There were TWO TIMES Milesplit posted an article about Terry Varicelly. The first was shortly after he was caught during the Manhattan Invitational. It did not create massive uproar in the running community because Milesplit deleted the article a day later due to Varicelly coming off as a victim using some bullsh*t excuse (Varicelly magic). Milesplit emailed him back giving him a free week vacation to their headquarters and deleted all the articles that mentioned him. This time, after the NXN incident, Milesplit seems to have learned hat Varicelly is indeed not a victim, but a hardcore cheater. This is why the article "Manhattan Bandit" is not deleted yet and hence has gained massive attention. The indoor 800 meter race video everyone is talking about was the earliest proof people have dug up of his cheating. After that was the Manhattan Invitational. And then was NXN. But who knows? He's probably done this in more races as well.

You seem to have a lot to say and you're very opinionated regarding Terry and people commenting about him and his sagas.

Perhaps, as you seem so concerned, you could be that someone to further explain if you contacted MileSplit.

Nice to know that milesplit and flotrack are using their "Pro" funds to offer free airfare to a little sleazeball like this. That's an example of where your $20/month is going suckas.

Yeah, they're bound to impressed and it'll add heaps of gravitas when you tell them you're "A Florida Coach".

Varicelly was disqualified for alleged cheating in the Eastern States Championship race at last month's Manhattan Invitational at Van Cortlandt Park in N.Y., Manhattan Invitational meet director Ed Gorman said on Tuesday.

wow

Whew I was about to join Tanima. So glad I didn't!!

Hello LetsRun crowd,

I never post on the message boards but felt compelled to respond to this thread.

At no point did I ever send Terry a message stating that we would fly him to Austin to visit our HQ. Quite the contrary.

In fact, my message to Terry (through responses to all of the fake email accounts he set up begging and pleading for us to remove our report of the incident) that I am not taking it down and that MileSplit has a responsibility as a member of the running community to present the facts and to protect the integrity of the sport and fair competition.

At no point has MileSplit or FloSports had any direct contact with Terry Varicelli or offered him anything but the sincere hope that he learns his lessons and becomes better for having gone through this experience quite publicly.

Apparently, he is as slow on the uptake as he is on the track.

Forging my name/signature to a letter and posting it to a public forum is a crime and should this behavior continue, we will pursue this to the fullest extent of the law.

Thank you,

Joe Battaglia (for real)
