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

Rojo has written a masterpiece, Rossi is going to be so humiliated when everyone gets to read this! Thanks for writing this rojo despite the threats from Rossi's lawyer!

I can only view the title. Can somebody post it?

Also, bump on the question as to whether or not you guys think that Rossi greased things relating to his DQ by paying off the marathon or its primary charity.

Hell. Yes.

It's not over, Mike. You're a cheater and a scumbag, and we're gonna drive that home.

He wins

MR is talking to the press again! And, read the comments. There are two in favor of MR and none against.

We're not talking politics here. Really no gain in that and too much of a stretch that more would know about his scumbag cheating ways.

Also, bump on the question as to whether or not you guys think that Rossi greased things relating to his DQ by paying off the marathon or its primary charity.

So now you are slandering a charity, with absolutely no hint of proof whatsoever?

Agree. It's more like theft. From the guy who's spot he stole from Boston.

So let me get this straight. You want to protest a race that did not DQ an alleged cheater by cheating? You want to protest a rapist by raping his mom? One person cheated, it's not an epidemic, it's not that big of deal. Is Hal Higdon posting every day about the Mike Rossi non DQ or did he write one column and was done with it? Let it freaking go...

PS. I'M NOT MIKE

PS - cheating in a race is not rape.

Maybe you're trolling... I can't really tell, but how does Mike Rossi win based on that article? It's abundantly clear that the writer is extremely skeptical of Rossi's claims and believes that he's guilty.

Some of the quotes in the article make him sound guilty as Hell to even the casual reader.

Rossi's lawyer threatened to sue them.

I'm disappointed with the LVM decision, I think the RD is a coward and did a huge disservice for the integrity of the event at least in the eyes of runners who can differentiate between a 3:11 and a 3:45 finish. For the non-runners and hobby joggers who can't tell apart a 3:11 performance from a 3:45 it doesn't matter. Somehow I thought the target market for LVM comprised more of the former and less of the latter given the race's BQ reputation but I could be wrong.

Go easy on the race director

She knows he cheated.

But her job is to do what is best for the race and the charity.

If the lawyers say no, she has to say no.

BQ VIA any means possible."Because WE'RE THE FASTEST"**disclaimer: fastest does not construe that people who run the whole distance will actually qualify. However, if you post a time that is a BQ - regardless of how you got there - we have your back. It's included in your entry fee.

What does VIA in VIA marathon stand for anyway? Is it short for "VIA the freeway"?

Be careful: he may come after you for that Garmin you promised... with his lawyer. Contract: offer, acceptance, consideration...

Stay snarky, my friend.

It's libel you ahole. I figured if you'd ponied up for an attorney you would have gotten the damn wax out of your ears, Mike.

Numbskull - Where did I write that Mike Rossi DID pay off the race director and/or charity? Asking an unpopular question does not amount to libel/slander. If you think that charities are always infallible when it comes to moral high ground, then you are truly naive. They are run by human beings, just like you and me (and, again, I am NOT saying that Mike Rossi DID make a contribution to help ease his troubles).

Hey friends, Mikey here.

Sorry all of you couldn't come to my BBQ, but I can't let the riff-raff in, can I?

Quick question for you all: it's not cheating on my wife if I use a condom, right?

I am Mike Rossi.

This site lists the Lehigh Via Marathon as having 22.2% of the runners last year BQ. Remember this was a hot race day. I wonder once they add more mats and the cheaters disappear what the percentage will drop to? 5%?

It's ok, they won't consider missing mats to be conclusive evidence. They set precedence with the Rossinator, only conclusive evidence that you left the course counts. "It's not my fault the mats didn't work properly when I ran over them. Prove I wasn't there!"

Technically not since it was a billy goat.

Who said they are going to check if anyone missed mats? Boston doesn't care
