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

Oh my gosh, who the hell cares if Doubler is MR or not? I mean what difference would it make? To even suspect that he is, despite the fact he said repeatedly that MR cheated is foolish. Put your mind to rest? lol Relax dude, it obvious MR has commented several times in this thread under different names, but what exactly are you worried about?

I like to know more about someone before I burn them alive

If the interested party sticks to the facts about the runner completing the entire distance of the event per the widely understood rules, I see no burning stakes in the future. Just collect the facts and send it to the RD.

There's no reason why it has to be personal.

George, you are the one deflecting attention from the cheaters to this nonsense. I figured by giving you a link, it would end this.

If I were Kim Jung Un, it wouldn't matter for the purposes of these threads-I helped to out a cheater.

OK - thanks for the link.

That puts my mind a little more at ease - I see that "Doubler" was registered prior to the Mike Rossi thread.

I still don't know if "Doubler" is or is not Mike Rossi - that's still to be determined.

I will read through your "Kip" posts to see if that helps me think you're not Mike.

As far as the $100 offer yesterday (in the deleted thread) - that was to prove that you and "I H8 cheaters" were not posting from the same location yesterday - not that Doubler didn't pre-date the Mike Rossi thread. So no.

No, the original bet was "same IP address."

You never answered whether or not you wanted to double down on "same location."

I'm good with either.

At the very least, you owe $100.

Which is a shame, because I'll bet you were going to use that money to buy a sweet new fanny pack.

speaking of Kim Jung Un, wearing a fanny pack in a race should be punishable by firing squad of anti-aircraft gun

As someone else said, if it was a little recreational race like a fun run, then I'd say it doesn't truly matter. But it seems to me she is putting her time out there, and with hopes to do more marathons (and ultras!) she needs to be DQed. One's health issues are irrelevant here. I can see where different abilities can be given different standards, but that doesn't mean turning a blind eye to a blatant case of significant cheating.

Ms. Moore posts pics on FB, credits Crossfit with her time when a friend commented he didn't know she was so fast and then posts this to the CrossFit FB page acknowledging her marathon time:

March 10 at 2:46pm ·

Wanted to say thank you to all the coaches and friends I have met through CrossFit. Today because it is my 2 year anniversary of joining CrossFit. I joined CrossFit on the sole purpose of preparing myself mentally and physically to run a marathon. Well I did accomplish exactly just that. In 3 hours in 44 minutes too I might add. So I would say your services are no longer needed, but they are!!! I want to run more marathons, and triathlons and ultramarthons. So your stuck with me. Sorry for your luck. Thanks again for helping me acheive a dream of mine.

The fact that she is bragging about her time which she obtained by cheating on the CrossFit FB page is very Rossilike. I'm not sure why the thread got deleted, she cheated just like Mike Rossi did.

Great idea.

Just based on the back and forth I will donate $100 to this epilepsy charity.

I know these folks are straight up. They don't require campers to pay for a week at camp. All of it is through donations and the camp is excellent. They really do help the kids.

Nice work, very generous and a good cause.

I'm thinking of donating to a relevant Mike Rossi charity... Cars for Kids? Adopt a Highway? Does EZ Pass have any charitable projects?

But if he is DQ'd, it doesn't change anything, he still got into and ran Boston, which was his goal.

You might be right, but I suspect his true goal was beyond running Boston. I suspect it was being recognized (admired/etc..) for having run Boston. If he is DQ'd and his Boston appearance discredited (and possibly DQ'd) it might affect him internally more than you think. Outwardly, of course, he will likely not let on to any of this... his ego is too frail.

Starbucks has a great charity. Carmel macchiatos for injured marathoners/casual joggers. Free wifi to post selfies from the start line also.

Well, rossi's cheating has finally found a bit of redemption! Major props for putting your money where our mouths are. On a personal note my beloved cousin died in 2008 from complications from epilepsy. I always referred to her as "a conga line of awesome". Thank you for doing this.

Very cool Donating

Also, I set up a blog. If we can get into the details on the blog..and keep them off here for Kara and future cheats..it should be a win for everybody.

Still working on adding some meat to the blog..but it can serve as a place to put information and request investigation.

Hopefully, at least initially we can still post basic info on letsrun to drive investigations to take place on the blog.

Thanks Dave.

I am well aware of how and when the issues of "free speech" apply, thank you very much.

Then why bring it up?

As for your second point, see the "If" in my statement.

More dishonesty.

no, not Dave

That's a very old handle..from an ebay account that is long since inactive.

and not linked to anything in google results. It should refresh to doubler soon I believe. So leave that guy alone..lol.

We should start the Mike Rossi Challenge. We make videos of us admitting to some kind of wrongdoing and then donating $100 this epilepsy charity. And then we nominate 3 others to confess.
