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

You really don't get it man. You guys deserve each other.

can we all just ignore LMR? stop feeding the psychosis.

TAG, nice Blog by the way. Thanks for piecing it all together in a coherent fashion. All the relevant info in this thread gets buried too deep by trolls trolling the trollers.

Good to see Ken is embarrassing himself once again.

If only people knew the Rossi Posse had a plus one. He is a soldier and helped my dad get into Boston.

Thanks! That is probably the biggest frustration I have with this thread is the amount of crap that gets generated and buries the good stuff. Earlier on things were better organised, most of the good stuff got buried.

I have a theory. Can someone post the results again?

You are quite clearly certifiable.

But it's interesting to think about it. I used to read all kinds of true crime stories, and speculation is how murders get solved. The detectives come up with theories and then each one gets proved or disproved.

Fair enough. Thanks for the explanation. It sounds, as you say, quite far-fetched. We're not exactly the Warren Commission here.

Yeah we got us a real Dick Tracy right here.

I'm sure the two do at least know of each other, but again, if stepping off and back on to the course is so ridiculously easy why would Mike ever bother to get help? Ken, there were no mats on the course and thus no need to have someone carry his bib. Do you understand that? What happened in the middle is very clear, the exact details will remain unknown because there was so much opportunity to cheat. Mike jogged across the start mat, hopped off the course somewhere before mile 3, got in his strategically parked car, drove east on 78, parked his car within a couple of miles of the finish line, hopped back on the course and jogged across the finish mat. There is zero need for him to get help to accomplish this. Besides, even if there were a need, that would be too complex a plan for Mike to carry out. Thank you for thinking about it and trying to draw links but you should really drop this lame theory.

It's hard to defend Ken but on this point he should be. Ken did NOT reveal his name (the accomplice) here, it was SaraB and that was the wrong thing to do. Sara has done a lot of work and I don't know why she did this. Not sure if the posts were deleted but they should be in the thread.

I could almost swear Ken posted the poor guy's name at one point. I could be wrong.

Why he is not banned, I'll never understand.

Thanks for backing me up here. I have never mentioned his name and never had any intentions of accusing anybody in public without 100% proof. When we had a private group I asked for help and inquired if anybody had photos from before the Via marathon of his training or him posting photos of his injuries, as I thought it might have proof of who's physical therapist or possible trainer was. For some reason Sara threw a fit that I was looking into getting proof of this accomplice and she threatened to tell everyone on this thread about my questions. So I kicked her out of the group and closed it down. And then SHE revealed his name anyway. She basically sabotaged the whole inquiry, started her own investigation group, and then disappeared and did nothing.

But then there is a curious situation where the bride's videographer never showed up for her wedding. But since nobody believes Mike is smart enough to have an accomplice to begin, with there's no reason to getting into the missing wedding videographer.

Meanwhile.. Mighty Mike is sitting on his hands at home, unable to take a shot at another 5k the coming weeks.

Is he?

Maybe somebody (Ken?) can analyze the asphalt on the ankle-picture and compare it to other types of asphalt roads across the US.

Or did he fake his injury and does he come out firing on all cylinders somewhere between now and the end of the year?

I remember significant leg hair on that photograph. Is there any comparable picture of Rossi's legs so we can analyze the growth pattern of his leg hair?

Someone from the area (not Stillman) really needs to email the RD and share our suspicions that Rossi cheated. He stole an AG award from someone else this time.

Maybe this 5K has an RD that actually cares about more than a paycheck (looking at you, Barb). They may have video footage or photography somewhere on course that can be investigated. But the sooner this gets set in motion, the easier for the RD.

From what I've read from the woman on this forum this does not surprise me.

However, the whole VIA story is not going to get unveiled unless a.) miraculously photos/videos/witnesses appear or b.) Rossi starts behaving like a sane human being, fesses up the whole thing and gets this whole rotting saga behind him. Both don't seem very unlikely at this point.

It would be interesting to see some more pictures popping up on FB from the Turkey-thing. This guy made a race recap but his starting line picture is a bit blurry:

Forget it, it's the same picture as on the earlier mentioned blog.

One of the aspects we were looking into was to contact other runners and see if any friends or relatives may have caught Rossi in the background of a photo leaving the course or going back to his truck in the parking lot. And when Sara threw her fit all that ended.

There is no accomplice you friggin' moron. Please leave.
