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

I sent him another, very professional message. If that isn't successful, I'm escalating my concerns. There are a lot of contacts there that I can get ahold of.

I really don't understand how an RD wouldn't catch stuff like his in the first place. The first thing I'd do after a race is look for missed mats, and look for obvious cases of course cutting. Then I'd email the runners and I've them a week to provide evidence that they actually ran.

I/we shouldn't have to do their jobs for them.

Has Ken finally been banned?

I think that the race director is just being a lazy POS and taking the easy way out. The guy finished second in his age category last year and likely robbed others of medals/prizes. If the race director DQs Ramon De La Rosa, we might well expect him to get in contact with the race participants who were screwed over and get them their awards.

Tough sh*t! If you don't want the extra work, look through the results for suspicious performances before handing out medals at the awards ceremony.

Yeah, there are so many more angles I can take with De la Rosa.

Ken I wouldn't say you are exactly keeping with the rules. It's pretty clear what you are saying.

Didn't mention his family. I alluded to my own weight problems. And after the last two pages people actually did mention his family, I think I stayed within the perimeters of the rules. ;-P

I don't think I mentioned them, but, now that you mention it, when I was a kid, the biggest douche bag's in my class did not fall far from the tree. Nice family, nice kids and vice versa.

However, I guess I didn't do this very well, but I was mostly just trying to stop people from talking about them at all; speculating, worrying they are somehow victims of Mike who are unaware of his cheating and sociopathic tendencies, whatever - just let it go. Nobody needs to talk about them, worry about the effect it has on them, etc. Just assume they know full well he's a sociopath and a cheater and that they don't give a rats a$$. Assume they are proud Mike cheated at a marathon as it fits within their set of family values, or lack thereof. Now we need never speak of them again.

I actually agree with Ken on this one. The is a totally gross picture that Mikey posted on Twitter. I think he posted it on purpose so we would make fun of _______ and then he could complain and get the thread deleted. That's a rather callous thing for a man to do to his _____ but also in line with what we know of Mike's personality.

Wow, this guy Mike is totally obsessed with Cecily. It's obvious she's everything he's not. She's sexy, she works in real media (yes Mike being an "air personality" is a joke), and she's not engaging in his attempted Twitter battle. She's a real celebrity and he's a wannabe.

Whatever it takes eh Mike, what ever it takes.

It is really sad. Meanwhile, he has never used twitter to proclaim something like "I ran the entire 2014 Lehigh Valley Marathon in a time of 3:11 and did not cut the course."

Instead, he keeps avoiding the subject of COURSE CUTTING, thinking that by attacking others, everyone will forget that he cheated.

Mike, since I know you're reading this, can you tweet something to the effect of, "I, Mike Rossi, ran all 26.2 miles of the Lehigh Valley Marathon in a time of 3:11?" We don't care about your family or your feud with Ken or Cecily.

Will you state in public that you ran all 26.2 miles of that race and averaged 7:18 per mile? I already know you're going to respond with "I have been cleared of any wrongdoing." That isn't, the question, Ducky. The question is, "did you run all 26.2 miles of the 2014 LVM in a time of 3:11?"

In keeping with the "rules", after looking at his Tweets I'm just gonna say it takes a lot of nerve for him to make fun of me and my girlfriend and our weight. Top physical condition is not evident in anything I just looked at over at @mikerossi22

So you are saying him and his wife are just another pair of fat undisciplined slobs?

Gotya.

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA .

sorry, couldn't resist.

The only questions I have are:

What will Mike wear for his next race?

A) Boston gear head to toe.

B) A custom made shirt touting his Boston triumph.

C) A custom made shirt taunting LRC, with matching tights

D) Other.

What excuse will he give for a poor performance?

A) Torn labrum hasn't healed.

B) Not giving 100% until a later fall marathon.

C) Went out at marathon pace and realized it was too fast for a 7 mile run. Settled into half marathon pace.

D) Custom shirt not ready in time for the race.

E) Other

I give him credit for actually answering the question for once. Of course, I don't believe him, and neither does anyone else, but at least he didn't take his expected "I have been cleared of cheating" answer.

?

You two are retarded.
