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

Cheater Mike is too stupid to know what a troll is.

Well, who wants to get annoyed by basement trolls all the time? Just have a look how often and rude I get insulted here just because I sometimes remind people that the committee found no evidence of any wrongdoing by Rossi.

Furthermore Yasso knows not thinks that the 3:11 is legit, because he has seen all the evidence - without bias - in contrast to the trolls and to both of you who seriously still don't believe it.

You are a joke.

Indeed, hero, clever, and fast. Not only did he qualify for Boston with a BQ-20 (!), he even finished that mary despite the hills and the 30 - 50 mph head wind!

You said you barely know him, and that you only do an occasional long run in the same group with him, but still you think he's a "hero?" Does he know that you admire him from afar? Does he even know that you exist?

Are you talking to me? I was just supporting "No shortcuts".

Yes, you said you barely knew him and only did an occasional long run with him in a group. Then you called him a "hero," as well as "clever" and "fast."

If you don't swing the bat, you'll get strike out every time, dude. At the next long run, just approach him, tell him how much of a fan you are, and suggest that you get together for a beer some time.

I predict he'll be wearing the winter hat, winter gloves, and Boston jacket. That 4hr Boston time is the best he can do, but he's not in shape so he'll barely break 4:40. The part that should really irritate everyone is that he used that bogus BQ to get guaranteed entry to NY instead of raising money for a charity or doing the 9+1 like all the mortal hobby joggers.

Nope, 3:11 isn't good enough for NYC unless a dude is 50+. I think Mike got in by lottery drawing.

You're right and I think he even mentioned that in an old tweet. He's a real winner isn't he?

Winner. Monster. The same.

If you two are such close budsWe are not. I never said we are. You fell for the troll(s) a la Trollminator/bored troller/trollthisandthat/finisher medal/LMR who constantly talk about sex with Mike. Well, just let them dream.

Mike is just one of the 20+ runners I sometimes meet for a jog.

Yes. I never said that I "barely knew him and only did an occasional long run with him in a group".

But, didn't you want to prove that I "previously claimed that Rossi did a Kip Litton and changed shirts during the race"? Or do you want to apologize for making stuff up?

You're right. "Just one of the 20+ runners I sometimes meet for a jog" is way different from "barely knew him and only did an occasional long run with him in a group".

You said a guy in a black shirt in the middle of the race was Rossi. Rossi was photographed in a gray shirt at the start and finish. Therefore, you are saying he changed shirts.

Mike himself has backed off claiming those photos were of him. You are the only person continuing to claim they were him after they were debunked.

Color of shirt aside, in the sequence of photos, the guy who you claim to be Rossi clearly comes into view in the subsequent photos and is a guy name Joseph.

Again, Mike doesn't even use the additional photo defense anymore.

It still makes me laugh to think of Rossi, knowing damn well he didn't run the race, looking through thousands of race photos to try and find some obscured person in the background of a shot that he could pretend was himself.

Philly, lol.

And did he think it wouldn't be quickly debunked by LR sleuths? Maybe he was just trying to convince nonrunner friends who might have doubted him.

I am certain had he cheated better and run 2:11:45 many of those same people would still believe him. They have near zero knowledge of the sport and give him props for the Madam Principal letter.

I agree, and when cornered with the right stats and facts, those people would resort to reasoning he would have no reason to cheat because he's a family man. It's like believing Kenyans have no reason to dope. Given he hasn't fessed up like a respectable human being, I'm sure this lowlife scams people ll the time. He keeps doubling down on his lie everyday. How's that working for you Mike? When we see you run another turtle pace marathon that miracle 3:11 will stand out like a sore thumb more and more. Just so you know, there's this thing called Ironman that would suit you really well. An athlete of your pedigree and super efficient running 'cadence' could kill it out there. Just let us know when you're ready, I'd happily throw in a few bucks to see how you do.http://www.ironman.com/#axzz3pP3WMUhn

Mike was made for the Ironman and like someone pointed out, just look at all the bling he could buy. "Bike" rhymes with "Mike", it's like a sign from heaven. But "swim" doesn't rhyme with "cheat" so maybe it's not preordained.

do they allow ducks to register for ironmans now? because man oh man, mike has the supreme duckster running gait

I think he'd take to the swim stage like a Duck to water

Nailed it.If we need a voice-over for his Ironman vid I can do a passable Donald Duck imitation. Naturally Disco Duck will be the theme song.
