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

LVHM will be fine next year. Their numbers will be up. If I run one marathon next year it will be Via. That will offset the one person that will skip this race because of a non DQ...oh who am I kidding, not one person will skip this race because of Mike Rossi.

I am thinking that LVHM will have to turn off (or delete) comments again at some point once they see this is not going away. The negative publicity is still mounting. Either that or do the right thing and DQ Mike Rossi.

What are ya gonna do if Rossi is at the starting line next year?

I'm not going to worry about Rossi, I'm going to take care of myself and run my race. Weird concept for you guys to grasp.

My you are the anal one. People are already publicly skipping the "race." You kid yourself, a kid being a baby goat.

I can assure you somebody will be behind him the whole race. And then when he only runs a 3:45 we can all laugh at him, while he comes back on here claiming once again he was running while injured.

He seems to run a lot of races with injuries. Just like he ran Boston with a "major hip injury" (as he told the press) and then ran a half marathon 3 weeks later in Philly. I didn't know major hip injuries repaired that quickly. Maybe Rossi should get a job with the Eagles to get their players healthier so they don't suck so bad.

Or it may be me following him.

What would you estimate Rossi is paying his attorneys?

Budget Estimate of shithead Rossi's trip to Boston:

Drives from PA to Boston ($300)

Hotel stays ($500)

Blast the principal for unexcused absences at the shit school his kids attend

Income from Fox News and other local shit channels for TV appearances - $100

Lawyers free consultation followed by 4 hours @ $180/hr -($720)

-Lawyers contact LetsRun over the Animal House movie "death threats"

-Lawyers contact Lehigh LVM marathon and put pressure on the woman RD to let it go or face action in court

NBC Philadelphia comes out with an article saying he's been "cleared" of cheating. This is inaccurate. It should say they found no conclusive evidence but he has not been "cleared" of cheating by the running community at large - far from it...

, that is why! It is easy to say he didn't cheat or lie about running the race. If he doesn't share it now, then he has no excuse, he is a liar based on his own words. Moreover, I posted an email address,

mike22lvm@gmail.com

. for him to send it, for HIPAA purposes.

Well done blacking out the names and faces, very professional...adds to the fact you are a lunatic. Stand by your computer because I bet Rossi will be emailing any second.

"he is a liar based on his words"....brilliant

I didn't blackout any names. Seriously. What does that have to do with anything. Nice try trying to deflect the real issue. Seriously. That screen shot was provided by another poster here, SarahB, who is in a Facebook group with him in connection with another upcoming race. She was right by blocking those other names, but that is not the issue. The issue is that he can try to deny certain things, but he now cannot deny that he blatantly lied.

Deal with the truth. Perhaps have another sip of Mike's koolaid.

I've posted the video of the top 200 finishers passing the first photographer on USATF's facebook page here: https://www.facebook.com/USATFfans/posts/10153167174281645

That is awesome!!!!!!

Nice work, Tony!

I love the fact that each photo is emblazoned with the word "Proof." Taken together, they are just that!

I'd like to hear their and Lehigh's explanation as to why they can see him here and not the rest of the humanity.Good work.

We'll have to wait and see what the shitheads do

Idiot at Lehigh valley marathon. What a retard if I've ever seen one - holy shit!

If LHVM indicated that they will not comment further on the matter, is there anything that can be done? If USATF echos what LHVM says (or most likely just ignores it because it's hobbyjogger competition and not pro's), is there anything that can be done?

The best suggestions is to voice your concerns directly with the LVM, USATF, Boston Marathon, etc. While a long shot, the more that people voice their opinions, the greater the chance of something occurring. By the way, does anyone have the email address of Boston Marathon Race Director?

Dave McGillivray is on FB and surprising accessible. I know he cares deeply the marathon.https://www.facebook.com/dave.mcgillivray.3http://www.dmsesports.com/dave-mcgillivray

The Boston Marathon dipshits rely on whatever the RD at the certified marathon qualifier chose to do. apparently, It's not up the the Boston Marathon jerks to decide whether a BQ was legit or not. They just ask the RD at the local dipshit event to say whether the performance in question stands or is a DQ. The running community tried to figure this out with this Kip Litton character based on the Charlotte ThunderRoad Marathon. Kip should have been Disqualified there - the Boston Marathon/BAA jerks knew about it but turned to the Charlotte RD, who like the LHVM RD, is a F* retard and decided there wasn't enough so the qualifying result stood.

http://kiplitton.blogspot.com/2010/12/kip-litton-at-charlotte-marathon-dec.html

In Kip's case at the Charlotte ThunderRoad Marathon, there were actually witnesses who reported him (see link above from SOKLR). But the Charlotte RD forgot to take his medication that day, and the LHVM Marathon VP woman is another moron who will come up with excuse to basically do nothing.

At the very least the USATF or BAA or Boston Marathon or some governing body needs to show some balls for Boston Qualification and set out some universal standards and procedures here are so it's not a friggin mystery to the running community each time someone pulls this shit.

We need to give Kip Litton some credit though. He is a MUCH BETTER runner than Mike Rossi and could probably hit 3:15-3:20 for a full if he didn't course cut.

This is true,

It's been tried

& I can understand your frustration with the whole process

Has anybody bothered to take screenshots of the comments on the Lehigh Valley Facebook page? That way, when the marathon invariably deletes everything in the run-up to this year's marathon, people can link to the screenshots on their page. The marathon will look doubly bad for trying to cover things up.
