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

This woman with unusual biomechanics holds the top three times ever recorded in the marathon.

But no hobby jogger with a waddle could ever run 3:11? I'm sure one could find counterexamples.

Rossi's mechanics are irrelevant.

This is the whole point you buffoon.

He has no other times to confirm that he is indeed capable of running those times despite having such a bad form.

Her gait, taken alone, is still indicative of a world-class runner. It is not the most beautiful, but it obviously worked for her. Look at her times.

Oh yeah, why is ASal's form so bad?

Rossi's style does not work because he cheated and has never run that fast with that gait in his life. There is no way to confirm he can run that fast because all his races are so much slower. You can't look at any relevant times because they don't exist.

There are no other times to confirm he can run that fast with that form. Therefore, while not conclusive, his shitty running style (feet flayed out and knees knocking while being the air for about 10% of his stride) is definitely relevant and you should just stop.

Here is another way of putting it:

Watching Rossi run, could he run a marathon in 2:11?

If you said anything but absolutely yes, then it shows that form is related in some way to times. So it is relevant. His form is too shitty to run a 2:11 isn't it. It's also too shitty to run a 3:11. A 4:11? Spot on.

If my kid ran like rossi, I'd tell him he should take up a different sport. Or take him to physical therapy. It is ugly.

Kneenocker delight baby.

Guess we'll being seeing Mike in Rio. Rio Rossi.Mike wins!

I am happy to see that we're back on topic.

This is one thing I find interesting. For all of Mike's twitter/facebook activity, for all of that #HHH, and his posting of pictures of Nelson from The Simpsons saying "haw haw!" he has never, ever once tweeted or posted a statement like this on social media:

"I, Mike Rossi, ran all 26.2 miles of the 2014 Lehigh Valley Marathon in a time of 3:11."

or ANYTHING remotely similar. He attempts to create diversions with his #Homewreckers thing and his charity efforts, but still, he has never made the statement of "I ran all 26.2 miles of the 2014 LVM," or anything remotely close.

Mike, seriously, if you had just picked up this charity angle a lot earlier, you wouldn't have to cheat.

Hint: it's because he didn't. :)

I typed every single word on this post. All the words.

Not something someone would normally say.

That was another poster.... his name was theSmokingGunner.

Can't wait to hear about the new evidence you promised tomorrow.

KEN LISTEN:

Stop stalking people. Stop stalking wives and posting about choldren .

You've been told to stop.

It's sick.

Even if I was a troll, what you are doing is SICK AND PERVERTED.

I've been told to stop by who? You?

An anonymous poster who doesn't give a sh!t. Reveal your true names or you don't mean anything towards what is going on. As far as I am concerned you are just another one of Mike's DJ minions trying to get people to stop posting or reading this thread. But it's not getting shut down. So go DJ something, why don'tcha?

Yes, reveal your name and you too can get stalked by an unstable loony.

It's because there are weirdos like Ken that people don't like to reveal their true names.

Remember the good advice given: ignore LMR's posts. He only taints the thread with his personal vendetta. If you feed the troll it only gets bigger!

Focus on MR, 2014 LVM cheater and the poor job of the race director.

If he was younger, super-talented, and properly trained for several years, then yes, a 2:11 is possible, even with a waddle.

I said yes, and I'm right.

I didn't say his form is not related to his time. I only say that it's irrelevant to proving he cheated. That's why there is no discussion of his form in the BroJo's article on this matter:

That was my intention. Glad I could help.

The last thing Ken needs is more feeding, he might explode.

And finally, monsieur, a wafer-thin mint.

Mike is clearly still reading this thread...

https://mobile.twitter.com/mikerossi22/status/630575536801193984

I think he is actually enjoying this attention.

As for his 5mi run he posted. If that was by GPS good chance it was short. If he wants to actually get serious he needs to run on the track... I seriously doubt he wants to do that though.

Good to see you've lost all credibility claiming Rossi could run a 2:11.

Then they start calling me stalker and convince some of you that their family should suddenly be off limits ofter Mike has spent 2 months attacking other people families.

You people don't even see how you'e been manipulated.

Mike dragged everybody's families into this. He plastered his families faces all over Twitter, Facebook , and every TV station he could get on when he was being declared "dad of the year". Now that it's been revealed he's "piece of sh!t of the year" he doesn't want his family involved.

And you just fall for it.

Ken, just stop. You're making yourself look silly. No one (other than trolls and Mike) here thinks he actually ran. We are not being manipulated here. Your words speak for themselves too.

Stop posting period. You contribute NOTHING to this discussion and actually are derailing it.

My god, Ken. You are so farking predictable. Anyone who thinks you're an unstable, stalking nut case must be an anonymous minion of Mike's. Guess what? I think that. I'm not anonymous. I've said my name and will again: Dennis Gunthert. I've made multiple public posts on Facebook, Twitter, and various articles about Mike. I think he's a cheating douche canoe of the highest order. I also think you should slink off in the corner and drink a nice hot cup of STFU.

I said that despite his form, he could run 2:11 if he were younger, super-talented, and properly trained.

That's true of almost any man on the planet.

Face it, this thread has spent a huge amount of time making fun of Rossi's form. But form has nothing to do with proving he cheated.
