If something new does turn up it's going to be years from now when someone realises that they caught Mike somewhere he shouldn't be in a video or photo. There were hundreds of people will phones and cameras that day so the chances that no one caught something is unlikely so there's always hope for us and a knife edge for Rossi. He knows what he did, we know what he did, I can't think of anything worse than having to be him. Parading his medals and false sense of bravado in an attempt to convince himself that he is a hero, it's pretty pathetic really and I seriously pity him. He is going to have a miserable life because he will never escape that small little voice in the back of his head telling him that he is not worthy. As long as the story never dies there's hope that someone will remember something or spot something in a photo.
This is the most likely outcome. There is other evidence that is held by a person who doesn't know it yet. Assuming there were a few hundred spectators around the start taking random shots, there will be a shot that shows someone starting the race then walking away. There may even be a shot showing the re-entry point, or showing them parking a car when they should have been on the course. The probability that the evidence exists is more likely when you consider how sloppy the execution of the scam was - mistimed re-entry, not bothering to re-enter before at least one photo point, failing to drench the shirt, the pose after the finish looking as though he had just cruised through a 5km warm-up. Whether it's discovered next week, next year or never, who knows?
thanks no ones mentioned all that before which is surprising considering theres been 434 pages
