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

Wow, the stink of Rossi is strong here this morning. Why don't you just come clean dude? You could have headed this off at the pass a long time ago if you took the noble way out instead of being a douche.You really doing Chicago?

Except I did mention that....twice.

Why do you think that lady wants your help...that's not your axe to grind.

He can't because he's a liar and a cheat and his ego will not let him. He should have done this before the 'decision' by LVM and now that they've condoned his dishonesty it is a far higher wall for him to climb and one he hasn't the courage to scale.So the only recourse is to keep after the race imo. Stay the course until they see this is not going away, that they are tying their race to a cheat and one runners will always associate with Mike Rossi, Cheater-at-Large.#DQMikeRossi

Yep. This is no longer a thread trying to expose cheating. It is a narcissist fight. Compare Rossi's FB page to gregtr and triathlonguy's FB pages they linked in this thread. It all about Rossi getting attention these other narcissists getting none. LOOK AT ME!!!!!!1111 LOOK AT ME!!!!!!!11

Agreed! LRC stop being complicit in this debacle.

Whether or not that was Abington Runner, it's completely accurate.

LRC - you should apologize to and bring back Abington Runner. He did nothing wrong and has always been a logical and respectful contributor in this forum. Everyone knows he was joking and it was an excellent joke at that. Whether or not that was Abington Runner, it's completely accurate.

Hey, at least I am aware that I'm a narcissist a-hole. Not sure if that makes me better or worse than MR. I already bowed out of this "narcissist fight" as I find it futile. I considered the case closed ever since LVM made a decision but that does not change the facts about MR and I will gladly recite facts all day long. Everyone is entitled to their opinion but they're not entitled to their facts.

I also wore a Boston Marathon singlet on my morning run today, I have about 4 of them but now every time I put one on I can't help but think that "I'm the same douche nozzle like Mike Rossi for wearing it". Ignorance is bliss but not if you're aware of it.

And I resent the accusations, whether intended or not, about cheating. Narcissist a-hole? Sure. Family man? Check! Cheater, whether you put it past me or not? Nope.

You are the type that criticizes people for posting anonymously, and then criticizes the others for posting their real names & FB pages. Give me a break.

You seem very emotionally invested in attacking anyone who is here, trying to hold Michael accountable. I wonder why that is....

There is no way the photographer missed him in these pictures.

I think we can all agree that the marathon is a great race. The fact that some do it better than others is clear. Shoes are important.

Great work PP. It's shocking LVM didn't do the right thing here.

Earlier in this thread, someone had the idea to download some of the pictures that were taken in the same spot at the marathon and put them in a slideshow. The idea was that it would create a video from the pictures.

I downloaded the first 400 pictures from the bridge. From my best estimate, this covers all runners up to finishing times in the early 3:30's.

Let me know what you think. It's not the best, but it is something to show people without having to pull up hundreds of pictures on their own.

This is deep.

And the guy who wrote that article on philly.com is director of ODDyssey Half Marathon in which in June 2014 Mike Rossi ran in a "blistering" 1:47:30, or 8:10 minutes/mile. See GregTR's recent comments above.

Just remember everyone, cheating is totally acceptable, even if all evidence points to guilt... Don't worry about the haters. If most of the pros cheat, why can't Mike?

Luckily the Brojos released a statement saying they would post an article early this week. I guess in Brojovania, Thursday is still considered early in the week.

The principal was harassed by anonymous idiots from the internet who took things way too far. Who felt it was their duty to correct a wrong that didn't effect them in any way.

Time to look in the mirror.

Except that there won't be an article. We have no reason to believe there will be after the mass delays and cowering witnessed a few pages ago.

It really doesn't even matter if we continue this on the forums. It is kind of funny to watch Mike still try and control this and tell us to stop posting, because the damage is already done. If you Google Mike Rossi the DJ company doesn't even come up anymore. All that comes up are articles about cheating. And Googling Via Marathon brings up some of those articles as well.

The REAL damage is all going to happen in the real world. When one school teacher tells another school teacher that her daughter got engaged and then gets told to stay away from East Coast Event Group because they employee this jackass that threw a principal under the bus for doing her job.

It's not just going to affect Mike's DJ work, but it's going to affect all the DJ's at that company. Frankly, if I was the owner of that company I would be planning to separate from Rossi as soon as possible. He could see the total collapse of his company all because Mike Rossi wanted to be "father of the year".

I can't see a smart businessman allowing his livelihood to go down the toilet because Mike Rossi can't admit he was wrong. Firing Mike Rossi has to be crossing his mind right now.

If he does, me and my friends will be there to cheer him on every step of the way. I bet he starts out on a pace for another PR. That will shut up all you jealous hobby-joggers. In fact, I will try to video as much of Mike's race as I can, just to prove to the world what a great runner Mike is. Nothing can stop Mike! Go, Mike, Go!!!

Life is good, right Mike?
