It might surprise some of you, but I can testify that Mike actually ran this time: I paced him in a nice, admittedly flat, tempo run.

Can someone remind me again, how old is this idiot Rossi?
From Twitter:
"Mike Rossi @mikerossi22 · 1h1 hour ago
I'm gonna take yo' money bitches..Just sayin'..."
"Mike Rossi @mikerossi22 · 2h2 hours ago
Hi trolls...do you really believe I was only running 15 MPW? LOL. You're dumber than I thought. #haters #hacks #homewreckers"
"Mike Rossi @mikerossi22 · 4h4 hours ago
Hey trolls. For the love of God. Go eat something. #letsrun"
Sounds like a 19 year old high school senior or college freshman

Nice Mike, taking up the Lance strategy huh? You don't sound any more credible attacking the "haters" than you did with you "holy sh*t" comment. I'm a dad and would never post anything that stupid online. Great example. Pure trash.

I think it's clear that everything he posts is geared towards making it look like his life has gone back to normal - but we know that's far from the truth. Everyone around him knows he cheated. Most, through word of mouth, know what he's been doing on social media and his intimidation tactics. And much of the general public, via his viral letter and Twitter war with Cecily Tynan, know that he's just a very bad man.
Reputation = destroyed.
But as long as he stays in shape and the Boston swag still fits that's all that really matters in this world. At least to this....ahem....runner.
Mike wins!

With the Pope heading to Philly, I hope Vatican security has Rossi on its radar. With Rossi's rare combination of innate endurance and the power of invisibility, coupled with his overwhelming desire to be the center of attention, while at the same time being a complete douchebag, think of the damage Rossi could do to the Pope and his entourage, especially if the Pope says something during his visit about avoiding temptation or being humble that Rossi misinterprets as a personal attack.

In some totally unrelated news Mike Rossi or one of his friends, if he has such a thing, were playing around a bit too much with Wikipedia today that earned him a nice 48 hour IP ban.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:208.65.21.98Furthermore since he kept up the Edit Warring on Wikipedia now there is a Talk page associated with the marathon course cutting entry that has some extensive information put on by yours truly that he simply cannot delete. You must not remove stuff from talk pages are they are meant to be a permanent discussion of what is going on the actual page. Before he should attempt another edit he will have to discuss his point on the talk page and why his edit (removal of the Mike Rossi part) is the one that should prevail. He has been warned about it. So not only he is a marathon cheat he is a moron who does not abide the rules of Wikipedia.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Marathon_course-cutting#Edit_war_surrounding_Mike_RossiThe most beautiful part of it all is that Wikipedia is a democracy and if there is a dispute such as this one between Rossi and an editor then a 3rd party opinion can be the deciding factor. Good luck finding a third party that would side with his "no conclusive evidence was found" argument! Maybe he can ask Barb to edit the Wikipedia article for him.
As I said before, Rossi is a marathon cheat who also sucks at the interwebz.
Mike, I'd seriously stay the fvck away from Wikipedia if I were you. Your IP addresses are tracked, banned and there is no way for you to hide behind anonymity.
Did mike's coverage on Wikipedia get deleted or is it still open?

Keep digging on this guy. You'll find a smoking gun
When is the next Lehigh via marathon? Is Barb McKeever and McKeever event management still in charge of it? Did they have their contract renewed for this year's race?

This morning someone from Myrtle Beach deleted it once again but some good Samaritan put it back in. I wonder how many friends Mike has... It's funny that every revert is done by a registered user while the deletions keep coming from anonymous IP addresses. He will be banned again. I just issued him a warning. Eventually he'll run out of ISPs and friends...
As someone earlier said Rossi seriously underestimates the persistence of endurance athletes. This is what we do!

As we speak, Mike is visiting each Myrtle Beach bar that has free wifi.

Most of the locals in his PA area who pay him for wedding or DJ services aren't really going to care about the cheating. However, he will be worrying if anyone he meets is doing an extensive Google background check of him - likely for the rest of his life.

It's amazing to me how he can post to Facebook cover photo all of his medals along with a "always earned never given" when in his heart he knows at least 2 of those medals are dog shit and he didn't earn them. It's hilarious too that he somehow thinks people are just jealous of him.
Most competitive runners I know don't really collect finisher medals. They are something that just adds to the cost of the event. Heck, back in the old days, race staff would be taking the timing equipment down after 4 hours had elapsed. Today though, it's the median finishing time at most marathons.

Here comes the BS machine. Now tweeting he runs a good business and raises a ton of
money for charity.
He runs no business. He is an employee of East Coast Event Group. Not an owner in any way, shape, or form. Everything is owned by Bob.
According to the FB page for the golf tournament his brother runs, they raised $40,000 last year. That is hardly a ton of money. Maybe if the charity was in honor of a celebrity they could raise more. Who ever heard of a memorial charity in honor of their step-father? What has he done besides just being a nice guy? No offense to Mike's step-dad, but shouldn't a person have some kind of extraordinary life or accomplishment to get honored? Just saying.
He can write all he wants. He can't rewrite his history. And he can't make the cheating go away until he confesses.

Oooof! Let's see how SmartRunnr AKA Mike Rossi will cover this one from behind some random East Coast IP addresses... I truly love the registered names here! Mike has nowhere to hide and we can attribute any and all BS to him now. #Owned
