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

If it wasn't for the 3 trolls posting 90% of the thread's interesting content we'd only be left with 3 others posting 9% of the repetitive drivel.

Where's the other 1%? I like the stats guy, he's pretty cool. I wonder if he counts posts that are about how cool he is?

I agree. The story of Mike Rossi cheating by itself is not that exciting, mostly sad. He obviously cheated, nobody thinks he didn't. The race directors couldn't care less, which was an interesting twist when it happened. But, once you have gone through the facts, it's everything else that is entertaining. This thread kept delivering in new ways. Ken was pretty good for awhile, until something snapped in his head, but, even that was better than hearing again how Mike couldn't run 3:11. "Yeah, we know he can't, we got that, can't we just watch Ken melt down!" The most recent bout of trolls is the low point, trying to stoke the dying passion by declaring that Mike is a good dude who really ran. However, I'm ok with it because it does keep it going and who knows where it will lead and what will happen next. Even the thread's name being blocked is an interesting twist - whose lawyer wrote to make this happen?

Hi everyone. Don't worry, the RD is reviewing my conclusive evidence this week. Hope to hear something soon.

Oh my God oh my God oh my God - I really feel like this will be the one that puts us over the top!

It's coming, Mike! Can you hear the pain coming?

No way that SmokingGunner is lying to us - he has way to much respect for Letsrun.com and the Mike Rossi Investigation Committee.

Ken's already booked a private room at Chili's so we can celebrate when the DQ hammer comes down!!!!!

Great. She's back. Did you bring your buddy Ken with you?

not ken, but was in the group. different people were looking at different things. 3 or 4 different ideas. contacted a couple people. things were organized until sara refused any other idea than her own that mike simply hoppd in the car and drove to the finish. we all know he did that. but here is the truth, sara joined the group, posted her idea and then did nothing until she got in an argument with ken and then came on here and ruined the whole group

at this point i think she's a mole for rossi trying to disrupt the whole thing.

How embarrassing is this for Mike? This guy actually has excuses and just goes and qualifies properly. Jackass on the other hand has to cheat.

And I think you are Mike Rossi trying to mess with Sara and people working behind the scenes to get you DQ'd!

No one likes a spoil sport Ken, especially those who tell fairy tales. :)

This article discusses the point that keeps me following this thread, skimming over the Dance Mom DJs reality show. There are BQ races that make a reasonable effort (including reasonable DQ criteria) to fight cheating and there are those ignore it and/or resist DQs despite more than adequate evidence. Those of you who really care, please contact BAA and ask them to develops criteria beyond the distance of the course for BQ Races.

He's not Mike, he is Ken. He is pretending to be a troll though (and not even a fun one) so am just going to ignore him like I do the sad trolls

Hey everyone, can you use any email address here. It is a bit interesting that Heavy Breather has used an email address and not hid it when posting that is for a Michael Rossi. However, it is not for the same loser Mike Rossi who cheated at the LVM and then lied about it. So don't be fooled.

You can use any

Question for everyone:

If you had to choose just one piece of evidence to prove that Rossi did not run the entire course in 3:11, what would you choose and why?

I would show this video and explain the probability of missing all 5 photography sections on the course for a top 200 finisher.

Me too, I think that it's impossible to argue that Rossi is innocent after seeking it
