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

Wow, now that is interesting, you get German results for English search terms? I know Google personalizes results a lot, but after weeks of using the .de domain I get English results only!?

your mom's a mike rossi

He's going to be DQ and then release GPS data showing he "ran" the whole course.

Now, if you looked at the data, you could probably tell he edited the time or something. Or, maybe he actually does the whole course in 3:11, but he rides it on a bicycle (or elliptigo) the following day and just changes the date.

Since it's not a trial nobody will care enough to check it carefully. He'll be reinstated and given a free pass into NY/Chicago/return to Boston since he was made to be such a villain.

I hope it stops at the DQ(s).

I love this one--dude cheated, and pulled a hammy (or so it appears) and missed his BQ.

Not sure what this has to do with M.R. but, I did enjoy video of him limping across the line. be careful, dude.

Long weekend coming up, anyone want to put together that video of the continous photos? I'll help, looking for best place to dump the photos though.

For dumping the photos, you could try Dropbox?

By the way, there are Firefox add-ons which download all pictures on a website automatically, so you don't have to do it manually.

"Since it's not a trial nobody will care enough to check it carefully." - You obviously haven't read the whole thread.

He's on trial here and we care and we check very carefully.

I thought they were supposed to reach a decision for the LVm before the end of the month. Only one week to go in may, hopefully a verdict is forthcoming soon.

You got your handle right, loser is spot on.

Believe it or not, that's the second time today. Cheers!

How is it that this lying sack of schidt hasn't been DQ'd yet?! The LVM race and it's directors have zero integrity. Let's start a boycott.

OK. I vow not to run the 2015 Lehigh Valley Marathon. That'll show 'em.

Actually, I was thinking about running Lehigh Valley this year to try to BQ, but this whole fiasco (in addition to negative stories about their bussing delay issues) has really turned me off. I don't want to participate in a race where the RD doesn't give a damn about obvious cheaters.

Oh dear me. Whatever shall we do?

Our boy is sitting back having a drink and smoking a stogie with a smug look on his face as we speak.

So where are we in this whole thing? I've lost the narrative thread. Somebody please bring me up to speed.

LVM has decided thus far not to go ahead with a DQ.
