OK Mike/troll, go ahead and accuse me of watching it over and over even though you sure the fvck know that isn't happening. That will be a brilliant response.

I totally accept the legitimacy of the 2,110 views .

except it is not a video , it is a slideshow of photographs . Photographs of whatever photos whoever made it had access to , or even left the ones out of mike so they could support their argument he didn't run .

Nice try. Go to the race photo website yourself and cross-check - all the photos are numbered in sequence and timestamped. And the race photo company has already vouched for the fact that all of their photos are on their website.

Wow, 2,110 times, awesome. So as not to appear sexist, are you creaming your panties or getting a hard-on over that 2,110 times ?

Such shitty troll.

Mike, you need to get off the computer so your wife can fck with the strap-on.

Maybe the kids will learn more there than in all of summer school.

Then you must be Mike.

No I am not mike , i am the troll . The troll that YOU created , in this lab of LRC . I sprang forth from a culture dish that gatorade & vodka spilled . You have fed me everyday since May , I am getting bigger and stronger , and since you all continue to feed me after midnight i have multiplied into other trolls as well . Don't be angry , I represent the non running public you think should be concerned about the sanctity of a hobby . While you are all out running some of us are bowling, or playing bocce ball , or badminton . Do you think we care if someone across the other side of the country cheated in their game of squash at their local fitness center ?

Nothing worse than a troll patting himself on the back for being a troll. NEVER BREAK CHARACTER!

And while I'm posting, what the F has happened to Ken Stillman? Haven't heard much from him since the article has released. Maybe he's taking up all of Rossi's lost DJ business.

I don't believe them . I have a digital camera too . i can take 100 photos and delete 5, 25 or all of them if I want , anytime I want . Sometimes I look at the photos after I take them and if they are a little out of focus or the exposure is not quite right i just delete it to save room on the card for better photos

That shitty troll's a good troll cos he's done his job and stirred you up 'full-time Mike' aka 'RossiCheated', give him some credit.

The photos are not conclusive. If you are to believe the times stamps every runner, from the winner to The last finisher passed the bridge within less than 10i minutes. And the date on the time stamp is wrong. This shows the photos were edited.

Your "evidence" is not evidence at all.

I post under one name.

Using more than one is like Rossi-ing a marathon. Strictly for losers.

Nobody gives a fck about what you believe Mike and or shitty troll

Has anyone done a background check on Mike Rossi to see if he has a criminal record?

If I recall correctly Kip Litton was only offered $2,000, but Mike Rossi has been offered $100,000! Wow!

Let it be known that Dan Baxley still believes Kip Litton to be innocent.

I wish the ORIGINAL kip Litton thread with Baxley's tirade could be restored.

The Rossi trolls become more and more desperate in their hopes to obfuscate.

It's real easy - if Mike Rossi isn't a cheater he has two options: prove he ran the marathon in 3:11; or run another marathon in 3:11.

Since he did cheat, the sheep will keep bleating rather than simply doing what any non cheater would do. Prove you can run 3:11. Just that easy.

Mike doesn't need anyone to try to publicly embarrass him, he's done just fine with that on his own.

Also, don't forget the Brojos also offered him $10,000 if he runs 3:25. Shouldn't be hard to do in a year, hip injury or no, for a 3:11 man.

.

The crazy thing is that if Rossi were a legit runner with a legit 3:11 after only 1-2 years running, even the 3:11 would be a walk in the park by the end of year 3. Anybody who has started running in middle age can attest to this. The improvement curve is astronomical those first several years. The effect of 1 year aging is nothing compared to the improved fitness in the first 3-4 years running.

And, I know several people who have torn a labrum in their 40s and come back to set PRs.

You have been sent at least three emails from Mike. Why are you lying?

Then post the 3 emails with IP address and prove Mike sent three emails.

Or...is this like him saying he has 6 or 7 photos on the marathon course?

I can't believe nobody realizes how Rossi is lying by telling the "truth" with that "6 or 7 photos" garbage. Count up the total pictures from the finish line focused on a) him; and b) people directly in front of him with him showing in the background. I would be that is where the 6 or 7 photos are. Of course he and any other thinking person, knows there are no more pictures from other parts of the course, because he didn't run the rest of the course.

This is how a liar deceives. Twist the truth in a way that deceives. Those are the best lies.

Has this new article been linked to yet?

For whatever reason, the Mike Rossi story seems to be gaining a lot of traction in Canada, even though, as far as I'm aware, there was zero coverage of the "marathon dad" story.

Great!

Great article! Thanks for publishing.

That article proves nothing .

You can take that article and file it under "fiction"

If you were corrrect (you aren't), then it would be easy for Mike to make big bank. 1) Sue the Brojos & win; 2) run a 5k under 20:00 & collect $10k, 3.) run a sub 3:11 marathon and collect $100k.

Triple score!

Of course, we all know the article is correct, and Mike won't be collecting anything except another injury if attempts the training necessary to run those kind of times in the next 12 months.
