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

Pretty simple. wrote:

He lied. He has a proven track record.

And people say he isn't a runner.

Thanks......more to come on the blog. I've written a lot more to others and rec'd responses. But have not updated. I have other thoughts and observations, some about here, some from Rossi himself, but I only have so much time.

Wait a second. There are now THREE blogs dedicated to Rossi?

And apparently a super-secret FaceBook page that only the cool kids were invited to. lol

First, the 'dude' I was referring to is the guy he claimed helped Mike cheat, not Mike himself

Second, the blog was not started about Mike. I only added the initial commentary about Mike as a response to those claiming that I was Mike.

The blog was created as a response to letsrun removing the thread about Kara Knoblock Moore.

Why would that make you tough?

You've not been to Newcastle I take it ? The women wear very little in sub-zero conditions on weekends in the town centre.

The Knoblock Moore situation is even worse IMO. And odds are she's going to run Boston next year with that fraudulent time since they refused to DQ her because she threatened to lawyer up. She will steal someone's BQ spot next year, wish we could stop that.

Tell us more about this person since this thread is dead.

My blog is not dedicated to Rossi. I've advocated moving off Rossi for the most part and focusing on Moore and others. Moore currently has a time that she will llkely use to register for Boston. The whole Rossi thing at this point is pretty well played out, and the damage done depending on whether he uses that time to register for Chicago.

I have the initial Rossi post, and I wrote an article after the non-DQ and I posted abingtonrunner's letter.

Ken's blog seemed to lose steam after no one commented when he mentioned it. There's no content on it. Just the shell.

Really, he didn't. The letter is actually quite complimentary to the principal and the school. Try reading it again.

Rosie Rossi could not even be bothered to know that he needed to arrange an excused absence prior to taking his kids to Boston.

If you were a parent with some marginal involvement in your school-aged child's education you'd know that letter is pure nonsense.

I wish there was some kind of oversight board out there that examined cheating. Its apparent to me in both the Rossi and Moore cases that RD's will err on the side of caution in order to avoid potential lawsuits. I think that these decisions have paved the way for future cheaters to get their BQ.

Basically she cheated, denies it, and lawyered up. No DQ as of yet. I've been told that she likely won't be disqualified.

We could petition the Whitehouse.Https://petitions.whitehouse.org

A quote from LoserMikeRossi, aka Kenny.

From June 8th -- "Our lives are still better than Mike Rossi's. He can't go to work, or school events, or even to the local pub without somebody staring and whispering to each other about what a douche he is. And when do you think was the last time his wife had sex with him? Probably hasn't even gotten a goodnight kiss in weeks.

The world of Mike Rossi is very cold right now, and some of us are working on securing evidence that is going to make it a whole lot colder."

This one needs its own post. Rossi should be DQ'd, but LoserMikeRossi is not the person to lead and investigation or for us to tolerate.

As luck would have it, I am a parent with some marginal involvement in my school-aged children's education.

Of course the letter is pure nonsense. He put it on Facebook, FFS. He never even mailed it.

I can vouch for that. Fat Slags in The Big Market wearing mini-skirts with bare legs in freezing temperatures and 20 degree wind gusts.

I went to school in nearby Washington (where George's family came from) where wearing a coat in the middle of winter would get you a good beating.

Ugh, it was hard enough reading all of that and similar posts the first time but thanks for confirming what I and many of us said previously. Those type of sentiments have no place here and can only undermine and help to discredit whatever legitimate information that is amassed here. In addition, the only last vestige missing is that anytime anyone tried to call Kenny on the carpet for his personal attacks and bullying, for which he always tried to defend or rationalize, was his standard reply, "Hi, Mike".

Thanks for the heads up on that.

How many cases are there of cheaters getting lawyered up and RDs who think they cannot DQ, be fvckin pos no balls instead and look the other way?

Double Thank you, because of this article I now realize that I ran cross country and track in college with the guy who owns the timing company who the race Moore cheated at. Not game over yet.
