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

It will be interesting if someone releases a video. I was thinking, people were furious and shocked at the decision not to DQ Mike, but at the time it was being reviewed, almost 9 months had passed since the race. Time was not on our side. Had it been only a month or two after, the pressure might have been greater with people possibly coming forward and I believe they might have done the right thing then. The scandal was fresh, but the VIA was old news at that point. If we find evidence of cheating at this 5k, Mike is in for a world of hurt. It will have been very ironic if his demise comes from a local 5k he was baited to run in. Think OJ... he was out there teasing the media after the acquittal with ridiculous and inappropriate statements and then gets caught with his pants down trying to steal back old trophies which he had to auction off to pay his legal fees. The Goldman family had vowed to keep suing him to make him at least go broke, and it all boiled down to OJ being OJ the manipulator and wanting to take things by force. Obviously, Mike didn't commit a crime, but we (through persistence) are literally making him confess via (no pun intended) his enduring ego.

No, the guy holding the orange cone is directing people over the timing mat. You can see another guy fixing the timing strip in the front of the start in another photo. DQ events said that they did not film this race.

Right. Shame on all of us for expecting Barb McKeever to do the right thing. NEVER RACE IN BARB McKEEVER'S EVENTS!!!!

What I would like to see is LRC host a road 5k featuring 100 3:11 marathoners and Rossi on a spectator friendly course. If it was on a course that was 5x 1000m loops he could possibly get lapped. It would illustrate how big of a gap there is between the two groups.

Ken deleted the posts about the police calls and hasn't reported back yet like he said he would. Looks like Mike may have followed through.

I noticed Ken only deleted his tweets that referenced the police. He never deleted the tweets that I presume got Rossi all PO'd in the first place. He may have backed down, but not much.

This has GOT to be killing Mike, and it is all of his own making. Sh!t like this doesn't happen to nice guys.

Regardless of the current circumstances, the Cheater, Liar, and now Big Footed Mike Rossi brought this world of pain on himself. Mike wins!

Credit to Ken, he was the one who stood up to Rossi when Lets Run and Via backed down after a BS legal letter that Ken exposed as AOL retired lawyer Grandpa Grimes. If they'd stood their ground Rossi would be history now. The downside to that is we wouldn't have had months of entertainment, and more to come, at cheater Rossi's expense.

Why did Ken stop referencing Rossi's twitter in all his posts recently?

I predict that guy will end up in court one way or another.

He goes on for months posting what he feels are intimidating pics from gangster movies. He adds that he may be running with a firearm among countless other "threatening" things. All that and what he comes up with is this?? Waaa, someone is making fun of me on Twitter. Good stuff Mike, remind me not to piss you off.

Not sure what tweets Rossi would have a cause of action for. Although I don't follow Ken, his tweets are not threatening. I certainly do not like Ken tweeting about his family or children (although Rossi open's himself up a bit claiming to be such a family man and posting pics of his, effectively using them as pawns).

In contrast, Rossi has indirectly (some may argue even directly) threatened several people. He certainly has posted materials that imply threats or violence. In addition, he has tweeted names of people here as well as their spouses and children and has gotten creepy with some critics' children on Facebook, as well as some other electronic antics best left unsaid here in the open, but you know what I am referring to Rossi, all of which has been saved and cataloged.

The social media addiction is taking it's toll right now with the blocked account. Mike is starting to lash out, but soon it'll be too much and he'll unblock. What did I say? A few days and he'd unblock... it's coming

His actions just confirm his petulance and immaturity. He claims he has xyz photos, yet refuses to share them. He claims he is going to have some epic event or posts some alleged time and then deletes everything and then hides his twitter acct so he can spew his lies and deceit to the uniformed followers. He points fingers at everyone but himself and accepts no responsibility.

In essence, he can dish it out, but he can't take it. It is like he is stuck in elementary school.

Hop along lil Rossi. Just desserts. Well aware of his threats, far exceeded anything Ken ever thought of doing. Barb McKeever and Via Marathon enabled him, they are responsible for much of the Mike has done.
