It ain't me, I've only ever posted using this name.

I thought people couldn't post using a registered name?

P.s. Ken, even Rossi has more credibility than you do

Ah, thank you. Someone obviously has too much time on their hands, there are much better people to pretend to be if that's what floats your boat :)

Still looks like he won. Every legitimate article and news source states that he was not DQ'd. 99.99% of people who read that stuff will just see the rantings of a few message board weirdos.

Not DQ'd to everyone else means innocent.

Didn't you start your own investigation and then post 3 days later declare there are no more leads and the investigation was over?

I will say this again. You were asked, by me, to help with a dozen other people and then you posted your idea of how he cheated and then disappeared and didn't contribute a thing. Whomever is now in your new group knows this to be true. So like me or not, at least was trying to help look into all aspects of the evidence.

And a few days ago, when I got a follow-up email from a runner I had contacted, did I not forward that information to whomever needed it?

Don't be petty and start attacking me. You claim to want to stick to the facts. So do it and stick to them.

(as I patiently await for you to just attack me anyway)

Boom! Drops the mic and walks off stage.

I think we need to buy some people a new dictionary. Anyone with half a clue about running or races knows that ain't a win. Non-runners are convinced as soon as they see you youtube photo montage. The facts speak for themselves. Then there's the constant fear in the back of the mind that one day someone is going to be zooming in on their race photo and notice something dodgy Rossi shaped in the background

You are the Ed McMahan of this thread. Lots of people make bad jokes, but most rarely take the time to explain them. That is the key to being McMahanesque. And taking a joke well even if you are the punchline, you do it so well.

You really think someone will 1) find the youtube montage, 2) actually play the montage, and 3) even know what they are looking for/at?

He won. Doesn't mean you lost, but his times still stand. All people will see that the people who could have DQ'd him looked at all the evidence and could not find a reason.

Ken - even if what you claim is true, your demeanor here spoke for itself. I know what went on in that group and your actions and attitude were terrible, Napoleonic and off the way nutty . You kicked out Sarah which confirmed you are just as much a bully as Rossi, if not more. You had/have a hard-on for Mike Rossi beyond his cheating and lying. That is as clear as it is that he cheated at LVHN Via Marathon and subsequently lied about it. The fact that you brought his wife, children, speculation of home life, work and such into this forum proved that time and again. Anytime anyone mentioned that you either denied it, attempted to bully your way out of it, or acted like a petulant child by trying to deflect to Rossi.

Ken, saying that you lack credibility is a fact, no one at all listens to you. If I wanted to attack you I'd possibly be telling you what a demented weasel you are but I don't do that. Nor do I post under multiple identities to try and annoy someone who pointed out that the emperor was wearing no clothes (everyone else knew you were naked but they just couldn't be arsed to say it). As to the rest of the garbage you posted, if that's the narrative you need to create to sleep at night then go ahead but you're not fooling anyone. I did feel sorry for you at one point but you reap what you sow and you just don't know when to stop.

this

and over time people will say the cheating allegation was only a reaction to his viral letter by people who had no proof and this thread is proof that it was personal, vindictive and not about justice.

years from now, Mike will still be a winner on paper officially and in his mind

you can fight them on the beaches, you can never give up, but when you lose well you still lose

My Rossi blog post has had 3000 views and it's not even one of the good blogs. Anyone who sees the evidence comes to the same conclusion.

Well stated my friend. Normal people with a 10,000 foot view see it this way.

1) viral letter to principal

2) people upset with how the letter played out being vindictive and claiming he cheated and reporting him to the race director

3) race director looking at the evidence (even getting the USATF to look at it) and not finding any reason to disqualify him

4) people who were upset with the letter AND now upset because the rd would listen to them just carry on this grudge long after it has been over

Time for all of you to move on. The rest of the world has.

How many blogs are out there dedicated to this guy?

So you took time out of your (obviously) busy schedule to find this hidden thread and make a comment about someone and something that we should not care about?

Thanks, Mike.

People that can and do think for themselves, as well as those with critical thinking and analytical skills (or for that matter, those capable of viewing a 10 minute video) can see through the clutter of the viral letter fiasco as well as those here who are the deniers of facts regarding what actually occurred, or in this case, didn't occur on the Lehigh Valley Health Network Via Marathon course in 2014. Yes that was a big sentence, I know.

But the facts presented to date are conclusive he did not run the entire race. The fact is Rossi also claims that he has "other" photos of himself on the course as well as other evidence but has not ever presented it, posted it, or shared it with anyone else. Why? Because there is no such evidence. I know it, we know, by the virtue of the LVHN Committee's statement, they know it, and Rossi knows it.

You missed something

5) Thousands of runners know Mike Rossi cheated whether it be through Hal Higdon or through this thread. Every time Mike wants to do a race in the future he will always have to wonder if people will recognize him and his cheating to get into Boston. The term "Rossied" meaning course cutting will be used for many years to come. That my friend is not winning.

Hi everyone, just checking in to see how the witch hunt is going. I see the same 3 posters are still hanging in there trying to defame Mike. Never has so much time been wasted trying to smear someone online anonymously. I hope you all get your heads out of your a**es soon and go get some fresh air outside. Peace out
