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

It seems like this is important to you. All the attention is on me.

Tell us how you feel. How does my running make you feel? Let us know who the real YOU is . . .

It's ok, you are in a safe place now. This is the internet.

I am concerned that you screen name, nay - your identity - is defined using my name. You are are by no means a "Loser".

But you are no Mike Rossi either.

HA HA HA. The Princess Bride reference was funny.

But you seem to be just as interested as us. Maybe your time would be better spent trying to get Mike Rossi DQ'd and bring this to an end instead of trying to get us to drop it.

Or maybe talk to Mike and explain to him how confessing one's sins is good for the soul. It worked for Lance.

You just admitted to watching princess bride.

Haha!

I have 3 kids. It's practically played on a loop.

"Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You took my spot in the Boston Marathon. Prepare to confess."

I made no reference to any princess stories. Sorry if you were confused. You may be a prince.

But I am King Rossi.

You are a disappointment son. You make me very sad.

I thought you were paraphrasing this scene from the movie.

And don't bust on this movie. It's quite good.

Yes it is!https://youtu.be/kRAI9_MkmBM

Are you saying that you are challenging Mike to a duel? I hop this doesn't get the brojos another letter from the lawyer.

First of all, I believe Mike Rossi to be guilty of cheating. I feel it particularly irritates so many in the 2:45-3:30 crowd because someone training to be as fast of a marathoner as Rossi tries to be does not have manb00bs and biceps the size of Rossi's and trains more like 50+MPW instead of 15mpw Rossi does. Rossi gives the more serious marathoners a bad reputation as Rossi has the stereotypical body shape of a douchebag and not that of a runner. He strikes me as the type of guy who would order you off the treadmill during your 15 miler at a Planet Fitness just so he clog up with a treadmill at a gym by spending 5 mins on it at 8mph because he has to do his high intensity "cardio." He strikes me as the type of guy who would have a Philly/Jersey/NewYorker kind of attitude - probably hits up tanning booths and gambles and picks up leathery skinned chicks on Jersey Shore. He probably lives by a Machiavellian code of morals so the ends justify the means (ie "I must run Boston Marathon".... Or perhaps if it was between himself and a coworker or competitor at getting a job promotion or a wedding deal, he may resort to any means such as hiring a buddy to give his competitor a beating in a dark alley.)

Just a reminder to continue liking and commenting on this to pressure USATF to reverse this non-DQ or at least address it!

Wait - are you talking about "Mike Rossi" or "I am Mike Rossi"? If anyone saw the youtube clip of him running Boston you would clearly think he's a 2:45 marathoner on a good day. Sweet, sweet stride. Runs like a greek god I tell ya.

Anything come from this, or was it a way to get your email addy? The fact he addressed it to one person vs the board is odd.

Not really. He was very cryptic asking for facebook to prove who I was. I havent heard back from whomever it was.

Don't give that guy any information about yourself, even your first name. In fact, hopefully you created an email address just to answer him.

Everyone else, please feel free to flood his inbox with porn. Something just not right about that whole thing.

You are a magnificent man Lionel. It's funny that you should mention Greek gods.

I was recently contacted by Nike - which comes from a Greek story about running fast. They were interested in my endorsement for a shoe to compete with Hokas - fantastic shoes for hard days I might mention!

I believe the young man's name was Sala.. I forget... something Latino. Nice man but a little pushy for my tastes.

So, one of Rossi's claim of proof that he ran the marathon is his selfie at the start, Rossie, let's see this selfie! Anyone else seen it? I don't expect Rossie to actually attempt to show us any proof even though many of us now are not anonymous people on the Internet with an axe to grind...

you assume too much wrote:

Most likely they did not look at all this evidence.

Does this make their refusal to DQ any less real?

.

1. It means your statement was weak sauce.

2. It means that there is a possibility that if/when they DO look at all this evidence, a DQ is likely.

Do you humps really think that a bride looking to book a DJ is going to click on links to a running page talking about a guy who cheated on a marathon?

Ummm.... that's how I got here.
