This is surreal. What is funny is that Mike basically threw a flash bang into the room and distracted everyone. This has gone from a thread about a guy with zero evidence he ran a marathon (other than the finish) to a Philly showdown soap opera. The next twist will be a dance off between Mike and Ken because there is no evidence Mike ran the LVM and the RD buried her head in the sand. What a freak show this has become.
Mike - it's more than obvious you want this thread to die down. Share the photos and it will stop, trust me. Let's say you don't have access to the photos for whatever reason; then please provide ANY evidence that you ran the course. I'm sure as a reasonable person you can understand it's just about impossible for a running community to believe you would have been capable of a 3:11. It's also impossible to believe you have nothing shareable to back up your time. It's that simple, why all the circle jerk? Post something credible on your blog and end this, otherwise you're just a f***ing lying coward.
So what I sorta have learned
This thread is being dominated by:
1. A wedding fraud guy who has a personal vendetta against Mike
2. A guy that actually sued a marathon and likes to stalk
3. Mike himself is posting...
You would think that site moderators could solve these 3 things very simply and let everyone catch up on the thread.
Seems to be a simple fix. Ban those 3 IP addresses...

Yeah, let’s focus on Barb McKeever:

Has Mike Rossi bribed her?

This thread is GOAT for those reasons. Why on earth would you do that?

Why would we say goodbye to the best thing ever? We know this will end ugly for someone. Car wreck!!!!

I do not believe there is any confirmation of Rossi posting on this page. Just assumptions.
IF Rossi is posting on this page, then there should be proof: he should change his Facebook profile picture to a picture of a sunset and a mountain.
Or a tiger. Or the Philly Phanatic. Any of these done within 24 hours and it will be clear, otherwise non-believer.
It's not that hard to spot when Mike is the one typing. His style is different from the trolls.
Speaking of, Mike, when are we having that coffee date you promised?

Exactly. plus, the more rope you give a guy...
I looked up Barb McKeever's race results on athlinks and she is much slower than even Rossi (can't break 2 hours for a half marathon for example). One of her results is from something called "Ugly Mudder". Too bad that she can't start RDing tough mudder or color run races, where everybody's a winner and nobody cares about the integrity of the race's results.
She obviously doesn't belong at the head of a marathon that is Boston certified if she is unwilling to DQ the most obvious of cheats like Rossi. If the sponsors don't force her to step down, then I sure hope that Boston takes notice and no longer accepts "qualifiers" from Lehigh Valley.
It's pretty clear Mike isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer. Which, I suppose, should have been obvious - you don't end up a 47 year old wedding DJ if you excel at anything at all in life. That ridiculous back and forth with Greg, where he showed select portions of some report? Classic Rossi: when everyone else runs a marathon, they cover the entire course; when everyone else shows a document, they show the whole thing. He thinks you just have to show the first and last line of a document and tell people what the rest says? Can anyone actually be this stupid?
The evidence that you cheated, Mike, is overwhelming. Showing select portions of documents - cutting and pasting select portions from the Lehigh statement to claim they said you were "innocent" - when anybody with a grade 2 reading level can see that they said no such thing - this only makes you appear more guilty.
The only way to overcome a massive amount of compelling evidence that you cheated, would be evidence that was even more overwhelming that you did not cheat. A photo at the start and finish is only evidence that you were at the start and the finish - not the middle Mike, not the middle. It's pretty basic stuff, Mike. People are only saying you didn't run the middle bit - that's the issue, Mike, not the start and finish. But, why are we even talking about this. There is no evidence that you actually ran VIA because you didn't. So, really, just stop your pathetic attempts to try to make people think black is white, or vice versa.
What you need to do is just come out already as a trans-marathon runner. While other people run an entire marathon, you identify yourself with people who run an entire marathon. So, when someone asks you - hey, did you really run a 3:11 marathon - you say - I identify myself as a runner who runs a 3:11 marathon. America's first trans-marathoner - Mike Rossi - and you are free of all of this. As a trans-marathoner nobody will ever expect you to run the middle bit of a marathon ever again. You can campaign for marathons to allow a new category of runner, the trans-marathoner, to avoid discriminating against all trans-marathoners who just like the beginning and end bits of a marathon. You should be allowed to be you Mike - don't let anyone tell you that you have to run the middle part of a marathon if you don't want to! End the discrimination, Mike!

This is the Best Post in Ages! Bar none. Well done sir. Love the trans-marathon runner angle.

Bravo!!!!!
Lehigh VIA Marathon photo analysis of top 200 runners, all 5 photo checkpoints
Can you spot Rossi: bib 2161?
To be fair, I kind of want to hurl anytime I see anyone's participation medal rack.

I think it is time that I do identify has a trans-marathon runner.
I believe that Kip Litton should get the courage award though.
He was my true inspiration.
Awesome post! Here's the trans-marathoner's selfie taken before the marathon, I know a few people have been asking to see it: http://imgur.com/bXmeoXW
