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

Thank you for your input DJ minion.

We are all Mike's DJ minions here, Kenny. There is no one left but us.

I can't wait to go to Bob's bar tonight - Woodenheads - and play Quizzos with all my fellow DJs from East Coast Entertainment Group. We are all going to sit around, laugh at you, drink pitchers of Coors Light (Mike is in training), and figure out further ways to prevent you from uncovering the greatest news story the world has ever not known.

By the way, how is the MIL news story coming? I checked the New York Times today, but the headline didn't read, "Fat, Jealous Guy Sends RD a Thumbnail Drive, For No Particular Reason"

Mike and I are going to laugh and laugh about this, and then he is going to go check his hair in the bathroom, which is crazy because his hair is perfect.

Hi Ken!

Ken I'm not a DJ minion and I really wish you'd stop discussing Rossi's family. How many times do people need to ask you to do so. This thread got closed to registered users because of you talking about his family. You do realize if you keep this up they may have to close the thread, right?

We are here to discuss Rossi cheating and stealing a Boston spot, not to discuss the goings on of his wife and kids.

Great advice! I will try and follow it, but sometimes I am tempted to poke the fire and watch the embers explode...

Ran across this over the weekend. By donating $10, you could win two entries into the (potentially) shortest Boston qualifier AND have dinner with Bart Yasso before the race. Very tempting, even though I am not in 3:11 shape and I live on the other side of the country.

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.

It is simply another obstacle, if you think Radcliffe's form was a similar impediment to The Duckster's that is simply your lack of judgement, no biggie.

When people criticize the form of professional runners, it tends to be the style is ugly, arm movement, head bobbing etc, that is a mile away from hopelessly inefficient leg mechanics. I couldn't see any issue with Salazar's form at all, just quoting some Joe Blow said X doesn't make it so.

I quoted Hal Higdon. He's hardly a Joe Blow. He has been running and coaching for over 50 years. He's the author of numerous running books, and he has held several American masters records.

Nobody has made a good case that Rossi has "hopelessly inefficient leg mechanics". To make a case of cheating, you would need to quantify the inefficiency and then somehow determine its true effect on his ability to run 3:11. You can't quantify that by just saying it's ugly or that he looks like a duck.

The talk about Rossi's form is a just a red herring.

Ken, you are just an absolute tool of a man. You are just as repugnant a person as Mike Rossi. GO AWAY.

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.

No, it's because of Mike Rossi. You forget Mike Rossi is the one who started stalking people on here - posting pictures of Tony, "liking" pictures on people's Facebook pages, etc. and his (Mike or a friends) posts are the ones that are way more personal, Ken's family took a beating.

Which is why you really have to marvel at the depth of his mental illness - he can go on other people's pages and copy their photos (Tony's) etc, but when people on here mention his page they are "stalkers". Do you think he'd admit to himself being a stalker? No chance. And look at how her reacts to the Cecily Tynan - attacks her, her reputation etc. with his insulting vindictive posts - that guy is sociopath and I doubt he can even remember what part about himself is true and what is a lie. That's a guy you just avoid.

Dude,

You need to stop. The beef you have with Mike has nothing to do with running. Every serious runner knows that Mike is full of shit. The only reason he is going on the offensive is you. The fact that you are one of his accusers has pushed him to go all out on the lie. It isn't that he can't admit he lied; he can't admit that you have something on him. Honestly, I don't blame him.

Your continued attention to his wife and kids is creepy. Really creepy. Mike Rossi is a sociopath who cut a marathon course in order to gain entry to the Boston Marathon. He is not a bully to the running community at large, nor is he representative of runners of any ability. He is a lying tool.

This is a running forum. You are not a runner. Your agenda is with Mike, not his running. Please do everyone, mostly yourself, a favor and stop.

I mean that with respect and empathy.

Move on K. You embarrass everyone. You have no shame.

Ken, I think you should be banned from this thread for continuing to ignore the request to leave the family out of it.

I can ignore the dumba$$ accomplice etc. type posts. But you continue bringing his wife and kids into this.

I'm just a poster, but I vote ban Ken.

Ken, did you go to church yet to try to talk to the Marine? You said we may have something to talk about come Monday, was that it?

Approaching a marine at his place of worship and accusing him of cheating as Mike Rossi's accomplice. Now what can possibly go wrong with a solid plan like that.

So I finally got around to watching that vid that Mike did. Has anyone approached the BAA about a abusing a media cred and going that route for a DQ from Boston.

It is clear somone videoed him in the corral and with the security of the race that can't be possible.

Just a thought. But that is the contact information. Granted this is a long shot at a DQ.

Let's recap:

1. Mike cheated at the Lehigh Via Marathon

2. He stole somebody's spot in the Boston Marathon

3. He used that as an excuse to cyberbully a school principal and cause her to get prank calls and death threats. Which she is defenseless against due to her contract with the school district.

4. When I commented on this story he posted negative comment to try and hurt my business.

5. Another person who publicly commented against him had Mike "liking" pictures of his 12 year old daughter on his Facebook page.

6. He accused another person of murder.

7. He accused another of being a sex offender.

8. He's attack Cecily Tynan consistently since she commented against him.

9. He's been on here calling my son a gimp and retard with the help of all his DJ minions.

10. In addition to running a bait and switch operation where he shows couples photos from one photographer and sends another who the couple has never even seen his work.

And you people now feel sorry for Mike Rossi?

You people are the sickos.

Dave McGillivray is the RD, dmse@dmsesports.comI suspect they'd not do anything but it is obviously a potential security hazard. Sometimes it is just hitting the right button on the right day though. They need to tighten up on cheating, if this cheater fool Mike Rossi can do these things imagine what other holes are in the system.

Thank you! This is a running website, all we care about as runners is his cheating his way into Boston and the lack of a DQ when it was clearly obvious that he cheated. Sadly if a C&D letter from a lawyer can't stop LMR from posting about the family I highly doubt he'll listen to the moderator.

What's the O/U in hours until Ken is banned? I'll set the line at 4.5.
