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

Mike Rossi must be stopped.

This one cracked me up when I looked at the pictures. I am particularly proud of the headline. I do find I am being less judgemental on these non BQ cases. I need to find another one with a BQ and social media bragging to light my fire.

That Rossi is in the Male 20-24 Age Group...pretty sure it is not our boy who cheated his way to Boston!

End of the month is almost here... no DQ yet. I still have hope though.

Breaking News from LVM:

May 27, 2015 - In response to unprecedented public opinion and countless emails, the Lehigh Valley Marathon is proud to announce that PenTeleData will remain a 2015 sponsor. Thank you.

Hope is all you got...there will be no DQ

Does it really matter if he gets a DQ at this point? The guy cheated in a marathon to be able to run in another. He embarrassed himself beyond repair to his friends, family and community. Most of all the spotlight that he craves so dearly was ripped from him.

Btw if you think a guy like Bart Yasso loves when people bring this up to him then your guess will be correct. Truth is that a DQ is otw.

Damn I just ran Vermont, still battling hammy issues so no Mike Rossi time for me.

Now you are telling me there are cheaters at Vermont? It would be a really easy course to skip spots at, as it's basically a warped clover leap shape. That is if you don't mind missing all the timing mats....

It matters. If he gets a DQ we'll have the pleasure of watching him do more damage control on social media. If he doesn't then we'll watch him gloat on social media about how everyone was wrong and he is a victim and that he is just really that much of a stud.

That's pretty funny. I wonder if you're going to be an un-follower soon.

Something scarily spooky and weird going on here cos there's just too many coincidences.The Lehigh marathon started at the hospital and it's also where our Michael Rossi parked his car to drive back to the first relay change. The Executive Director of the Lehigh Valley Hospital is Michael Rossi and Michael Rossi runs the Buffalo Marathon and gets the same time as the cheater Michael Rossi.I'm finished with this thread, too scary for me, we could end up in a curse of Tutankhamun situation. From here on in I'm putting the crystals under the pillow at bed time and praying to my guardian angel. http://www.lvhn.org/about_us/lehigh_valley_physician_group_lvpg/lehigh_valley_physician_group_lvpg_overview/lehigh#Rossi

Nice post. However you did not provide one piece of evidence or fact to support your position. The Brojos should delete posts like this from the thread.

I have been on the fence with this. There is some very compelling evidence that Mr. Rossi cheated, but equally there is compelling evidence that he did not. Frankly, it is hard to imagine someone with his integrity cheating. I trust that marathon officials have not left a single stone unturned in this investigation. They will certainly have been more thorough than "we" have been. It would appear that these same officials have decided that it is best to let this matter drop, and I (for one) will defer to their expertise. I think it is time to sat that it cannot be proven beyond a reasonable doubt (or even a lesser standard) that Mr. Rossi cheated.

Hi Mike!

Definitely MIke or a dedicated troll. Fence, please list some of the compelling evidence that he did not cheat. We'll be waiting.

Hi Mike!

OK, now that one was deserved.

Most of your "Hi Mike"'s just make you look like a douche bag. But this one - yeah, either Mike or a pretty decent troll.

No, not decent. 0/10 for Fence.

Seriously? So you think there isn't even the slightest chance of that being Mike or a friend of Mike's?

Is this sarcasm, or a sign of delusion?
