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

try harder buddy

I offered to meet before and the ball was dropped. See the results of the investigation, all evidence has been submitted and reviewed. Good luck looking for something that's not there.

Okay, okay. I admit it. I didn't run the whole course. They still wont DQ me at this point. Hope you sleep well tonight.

Wait. How far is a marathon thing race?

Mine was about 5-6 miles. just enough to wet the shirt a bit.

My shirt got wet in the portapotty, it was hot in there. Bit boring too. My phone died after the first hour, too many toilet selfies.

Hey, at least she didn't cheat on him, like I did to you.

You fat, smelly degenerate gambler.

You know who you are.

Someone got close to the truth.

My belly hangs down more than Ken's. It's really quite gross. Not sure how I can get my sloppy fat a$$ into my new dream car (which already smells like fried chicken and Yoo Hoo)

The witch hunt continues. I admit I can see why people doubt he ran a 3:11 given his other performances, but still impossible to rule it out on the basis of probabilities. Also, didn't he provide his own photos to the RD supporting his story? Evidence in a regular court case never makes it out to the public so why does anyone think what he provided should be shared? Last time I checked none of you are the RD.

No, no he didn't.

Most court cases are open to the public, so you are wrong when you say evidence in a regular court case never makes it out to the public. Almost every courtroom, whether criminal or civil are open forums. You can't take pictures or record the trial, but anyone, including the media, are allowed into a courtroom. It happens every single day. This is not Iran, Iraq or South Korea.

As for providing his own pictures, he told me that the LVM Committee provided him pictures from US Candids that did not make their final cut. I have a statement from US Candids saying every picture they had was posted on their website, therefore, he lied! Plus, if the LVM Committee had exculpatory photos or were provided them by Rossi, their statement would have affirmed his innocence and noted the pictures proved it. Instead, the only thing they said of note was that there was NO conclusive evidence that his time was inaccurate. They did not say they had conclusive evidence that it was accurate or that he was on the course. That is a big difference.

I understand you are trolling, but I want to keep the record straight.

That makes a lot of sense. why not share the evidence so he can go back to his life? b/c there is no additional evidence. speaking of regular court cases, where is his "attorney" he spoke to about all these untrue allegations? could there be an evidence/factual problem on his end? he has nothing and no one (other than rojos) has heard from his attorney, which still no one has identified. Again, may be a factual problem there.

I think you guys are overthinking this. Surely the RD would have DQd him if the evidence was as overwhelming as some of you are claiming. The buck stops with the RD and we have to deem him innocent. I don't know about others but I'm not all about hanging an innocent hard working guy. He cooperated fully and was cleared of wrong doing, not sure why some feel the need to keep up this witch hunt.

And this is why running will never become a popular sport. Here you have a guy who starts running, wants to be a part of the running community, works hard and gets an amazing result and then a jealousy motivated witch hunt ensues. It's clear to me that a lot of you trained for years and still can't run as fast as Mike Rossi.

I'm just basing my statements on the facts. He submitted evidence they did their review and he was cleared. Not sure what everyone here is still expecting to happen. Time to move on people.

No, RDs do not always DQ even in cases of overwhelming or even eye witness evidence. One only needs to read Runners World latest article from last week or read about non-DQs at the Philadelphia Marathon where the RD virtually said we know the person cheated but we don't care. He WAS NOT CLEARED at all. If he was, the LVM Committee's statement would have been positive in that regards. Instead it said there was not conclusive evidence to prove a negative (which is impossible),in this case, that his time was inaccurate. If he was cleared or deemed innocent, then they would have unequivocally said that.

We know he is guilty, the LVM Committee and its Race Director knows he is guilty, the entire running community knows he is guilty, and although he won't admit it, Mike Rossi knows he is guilty. He won't even share photos he alleges shows him on the course.
