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

They are probably going to put it in the 'soon-to-be-published' Mike Rossi article they have been diligently working on.

Meow.

Brojos, please post all emails who have received from Rossi and his lawyer on this thread, in their entirety.

The article has been written and for all intents and purposes, released. Given the amount of time passed, it will likely never be officially "unlocked" but it is there for anyone to see and read.

I don't know what the big deal is. I made the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs, he could have run the full marathon in less than 26.2 miles.

I'm sorry. We have already crowned our thread idiot. Thank you for participating, but please bow to Ken on your way out.

You had me at tomato...

Seeing Ken post under other random names is hilarious! He makes it so easy to figure out because he can't hide the fact that he's a conspiracy theorist nutjob flinging poo at whomever is next on his radar. Today it's SarahB, tomorrow who knows...

Conspiracy theorist........

I don't think the Brojos could make it more obvious that like the RD they just want the easy way out... Whatever causes least friction. Mark my words, they will never officially own this thread or story... They will never officially publish that article, unless some of you dupes actually find what the RD calls conclusive evidence so they could take credit. This thread is going to fizzle out slowly and silently now... We're stranded out in the ocean on a raft with no food and protection from the sun, one by one we'll go away. Once it dies down they will put it back on the page alongside Kip. It's history folks!

I'd like to think that they are just dealing with a really slow spell checker.

Yes. It's easy to find when it's referenced by new articles:http://www.letsrun.com/news/2015/06/outed-by-letsrun-com-sleuths-yet-again-abdelaati-iguiders-then-world-leading-332-88-1500-was-run-from-the-wrong-start-line/

Can the thread still hit 10K without most people being able to find it?

Maybe. But maybe some other outlet (Deadspin, for example) will run with the story. Part of the story may be the fact that the Brojos have inexplicably covered this story up. It makes no sense. Go after Nike, protect a second rate RD and DJ?

I can't believe he is still going after the poor guy. There's nothing dodgy about him at all. Completely no evidence that he was involved. I'm guessing his inappropriate hunt for a medical link didn't pan out since now he is trying to link them because he got married recently. So did I, does that mean I ran for Rossi too. Ken should have dropped it as soon as he saw the guy's finish photo. His shorts were soaking yet, there's no way he was carrying Rossi's number in his pocket.

In other words, go after one of the biggest wealthiest track teams for using drugs with multiple superstars, while not paying any more attention to a small race that has refused to dq a slow ass hobby jogger...

Yeah, they really need to get their priorities straight.

The Kip situation is more intriguing to the average person because he cheated again and again and there's the why factor. It's pretty obvious why Rossi cheated.

They have a well-written article. Why don't they release it?

That was from when you got kicked out of the group which then lead to its demise. He tried, as he always does, to rationalize his behavior. Kind of sounds like Mr. Rossi. Must be an DJ-industry characteristic.

Just a PSA. The Morning Call video review is in the hands of the VP-Editor. Please do not contact H. Fisher anymore. His work is done here.

Should I be afraid?

Don't bother contacting anyone. I just got this email:

Thank you for your keeping me up to date with your concern(s).

I discussed your suggestion with our Vice President - Editor. I do not believe the newspaper will be conducting an independent investigation, but I did want you to know that I had the follow up conversation.

Just to reiterate what we discussed a few days ago, we have a long standing policy of not releasing unpublished content to the general public.

While I appreciate how important the allegations are to you personally, I’m afraid I will not be able to be of help any further in this case.

If you could share (and or publicize) the above information with other runners, I would greatly appreciate it.

If you have any further comments or suggestions, please forward those to:

News@mcall.com

Thank you

I have no idea. However, the argument gets significantly stronger if there is evidence of you off the course.

Why would I ever stray off the course? Pictures don't lie.

I'm just glad there is a strong race director willing to do what is easiest...er... wisest.

Don't feed the trolls. That isn't Rossi.

You are right, pictures don't lie.
