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

He replied to Greg just now saying there are more pics. Where?!

Based on his comment they're hidden in his underwear....

I'd be happy to show you photos from LVM (which you haven't seen, training log, GPS watch, MRI, medical records and my underwear....IN PERSON. Come meet me and I'll show it all to you.

The top is all hair plugs. Look at how the top gets combed over the sides. The sides are real, but with male pattern baldness, and then everything on top is plugs.

Theses why his hair NEVER changes length or color like most people do when they go out in the sun or let it grow for a month between cuts.

Google "mike rossi daning on air" and you'll see his hair was even thinning back in the 80's. No way his hair got thicker over the years. That's as impossible as his 3:11 finish time.

He could use some of that stuff they sell on TV to spray on the spot

This is what you've been reduced to. Making fun of my hair.

Your cause is in the last throws. You need to try harder.

There's a lot of irony in Rossi not being DQ's.

My guess is that if only or two people who also ran the Via Marathon had somehow suspected Rossi of cheating, probably thanks to the lack of photos and other things later uncovered by the Internet masses, and reported it to the RD, he would have been summarily DQ'd.

But because he perpetrated that bullshit involving the school principal and became a very public figure in the running community, and absorbed a great deal of well-earned insults and online hectoring over a period of weeks, the decision to DQ him became much more complicated in the eyes of the RD. It shouldn't have, but it did.

In the end, I believe, the RD was a little afraid of the guy and his empty threats to sue the entire Northeastern U.S., and quite likely believed that Rossi had already been punished enough what with hundreds of people calling him a loser, a douchebag, and other names that unquestionably apply to him. So, no DQ.

In the end, then, the very efforts that made it increasingly justifiable to DQ Mike Rossi contributed to him being let off the hook.

Sound plausible?

I don't get it. Did cure cancer while in Boston or something? It would be really sad if this was his biggest accomplishment in life, but this video seems to suggest that over and over again. Has anyone ever seen a runner make a Rocky style montage like this ever before?

His wife must be really proud of him ruining their vacation to Boston with all this media exposure and traumatizing events.

Mike Rossi: Honey, I think we should go to Oregon for vacation this year. It would be really educational for the kids.

Cindy Rossi: Are you going to claim you wrestled with Big Foot when we get home? Because I can't take another trip like that Boston fiasco.

Before he deletes our back and forth on his Boston video here is our exchange...

When watching this video all I can think about is the spot that Mike Rossi stole from an actual person that BQed who should be running instead of him. Mike you might think its a victimless crime by cheating your way in through the LVM but you deprived someone who likely did 60+ mile weeks who actually earned their way in of an opportunity of a lifetime. That's what you fail to understand. Your actions hurt others whether it be a poor principal getting death threats or you bumping someone out of a race that they qualified for. It's beyond obvious that you cheated at the LVM so stop with this Lance like denial and just own up to it already!

+Mitch Feldman You're an idiot Mitch. I ran LVM. They have the facts...you have internet speculation from people with a personal vendetta.

+Mike Rossi I have been involved in running for about 30 years now. Based on your athlinks results themselves that is just about enough evidence to indicate that you weren't in 3:11 shape but then you compound it with you being the only runner not appearing in any photos besides for the start and finish and lastly you crave attention but were low key about the "PR of a lifetime". I'm not an idiot, you are a heartless jerk who couldn't care less about what your selfish attention seeking actions do to other people.

Anonymous Internet poster: STFU!

How much time did you spend on this post? 5 minutes?

This one took 1min and I'm on the can.

He made the video private. Also deleted so many of my good quips to him. I wonder if he was just there for some fishing...

Don't worry... Nothing on the Internet ever disappears.

I'm sure somebody in an Indian server farm will get you and your outrage.

Do you think Rossi will ever \"run\" anything close to the equivalent of a 3:11 again?

Are you taking Pepto Bismol or something ?

Nope pure prune juice and a pack of smokes.

I usually drop down 30 seconds in a 5k after a good deuce

Maybe by not DQ'ing Rossi, Rossi essentially got into Boston because he is a charity douchebag celebrity. Celebrities are allowed to race Boston even without qualifying times...Congratulations!

What's your best 5k time after going through your pre-race ritual?

I downloaded the video before he could make it private. Who wants a copy?

You do know that I qualified for Boston, right?

Your post makes no sense.

Can you just upload your own version of it to YouTube on your own channel?

I don't need to time myself these days.

I already ran Boston, which is all that really matters.
