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

Lion, the OTHER red meat.

That seems sketchy to me only because he had already poached a bear previously. If he paid that kind of cash for a guide, I'd expect he thought it was legal.

Oh, BTW, Mike is a marathon cheater and Ken needs some professional mental health. Seriously Ken, go to a clinic or something.

P.S. I wouldn't be caught dead in the Philadelphia area after this thread revealed the craziness of the area. DJ cheat, Wedding Videographer fraud, one of the first accusers charged with murder (not conducted), guy body slamming his dog at a marathon. WTF is in the water there????

Not crazy. The story says that the Dentist paid for a permit and everything and did not know that the guide and safari people lured Cecil out of the preserve. So I do not think you can blame the Dentist, he paid his money for a legal hunt and did not know anything was wrong.

And we do not have lions in Philly, unlike Milwaukee!!!!!!!

Maybe Mike will run the MIlwaukee marathon and if he cuts the course in the bushes the lion will get him??!!!!! Wouldn't that be something?????

As we all know Mike Rossi has claimed that he has been identified in 6-7 additional photos by LVM that were not part of his original photo selections. Abingtonrunner refuted this claim stating that Race Photo Network told him in an e-mail that all photos from LVM were on their website and there were no additional photos.

So we all know and can agree that Mike Rossi cheated but it never hurts to look at all evidence. Since Mike is so nice and posts little hints by changing his background or profile photos, he did the same thing with his Twitter account where he set the background to these claimed missing photos of him on the course.

Mike was telling the truth that these photos were not identified to contain him on the Race Photo Network. And Abingtonrunner was also telling the truth when he said Race Photo Network said all photos were on their site. So it didn't take too long to find these two photos and see what the fuss was about and what kind of "evidence" Mike has that has yet to be refuted because he was unwilling to produce them other than in an obscure way posting them on his twitter feed as a background photo.

In case he changes his twitter background, here is the photo in question:

And here is the original (he couldn't even hide the crop tool when he made the screen capture, true amateur):

1) The photo in the background numbered 635668487524719738.jpg is indeed Mike Rossi. But it's no more proof than any of his finishing photos as it was taken at the finish line. You can see the timing mat behind him. You can find this photo by searching for runner 2531 and it's one of his finishing photos.

2) The second photo in the foreground numbered 635668487120959402.jpg is from the course at one of the relay exchanges, that is why there are all those people around. However the dark body on the side of the photo is not Mike Rossi. That runner is bib# 2325 Joseph Susteno who finished in 3:22. The original photo that Mike used on his Twitter can be seen in runner 1689's photo stream:

http://images1.partypics.com/events/2676/26764939/00027/2651.jpg

Mike used a crop of this photo so it is not easily identifiable but that is the photo. Then if you go down the photo stream from that location you can see that the black shirted fellow that runs past the camera 4 shots later is Joseph Susteno.

And finally the girl in the white shirt and hat followed by the girl in the blue singlet.

Here are all these photos in an album, in case the originals disappear...

No Mike Rossi in sight...

Just another Mike Rossi claim debunked and put to rest. I guess Mike will need to change his twitter background photo to some new "evidence".
