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

You plan on taking action? So I should be getting another call from Officer Barbrady? Didn't you tell me your wife would leave you if you got into any more internet shenanigans? I don't recall I'll have to listen back to my recording.

I did't pick a fight with you. You picked a fight with me. And you haven't been helping at all with finding out anything.

In fact for the longest time me and Paul suspected you were Mike, which is why we made you call me on the phone to verify you weren't. For the longest time all you did was repost your long drawn out letter to barb, that we're not even sure you sent. We thought you were just trying to make the thread boring and hard to read so that people would stop coming to the site. Which seems like one of the tactics that Rossi had tried.

So go ahead and take action. I'm waiting.

I hope you guys find a photo that proves Mike cheated. This was one of the ideas that was being worked on when me and few others were working on getting Mike DQ'd from Via. We figured that SOMEBODY would have snapped a photo and caught Mike in the background walking off the course. And obviously that never materialized.

Good luck (and stay off my Twitter feed. LOL)

For the longest time, LOL. Six months ago...and those who know me here and elsewhere know my contributions, but you wouldn't know that because you were ex-communicated and blew up on Sarah and others thinking you were some CEO of sorts, but that is it on that because I am starting to sound like you bragging......how's that article coming that your mommy-in-law is writing?

YOU are bullying children on twitter.

Wasn't it you that alerted everyone about the Haddon Township Turkey Trot 5k?

Everybody knows you dont care about marathons.

This started for you when he said you were sleeping on the job. You said you were on your phone.

From there you have BOTH gone after children.

You are the ONLY one to bully children here.

Notice about 9/10 people here see through your bullshit Ken Stillman.

PICK on someone your SIZE....You mad, bro? LOL

PICK on someone your own SIZE....You mad, bro? LOL

There are a few on Strava that finished around Rossi. Will see if I can get some information from them. Did anybody else already try this?

I have not, but folks on Strava might be more inclined to talk. I am not sure how I feel about contacting a 16 yr old girl. But Rossi would have had to have pass her if we are to believe his time.

The current situation seems to be a consequence of the second best choice our hero could take: Close down his twitter and stop running. It may be a consequence of him getting injured but I think for Mike this is the best scenario: His inability to run will not allow him to attempt one of the challenges for a while.

Since the embarrassing Turkey Trot saga he possibly had enough, that's why he shut down his Twitter and called the cops to stop Mr. Stillman mentioning him on his Twitter.

Of course, the best choice for him would be to simply admit to cheating and work from there. But usually cheats will rather give up their right arm than admitting. The only possibility left is to get unmistakeable proof that he cheated either at VIA or at the Turkey Trot. We're already a week after the Turkey Trot and chances are that nothing will surface anymore.

Mike's injury, if real, could be a blessing in disguise for the man. Maybe I'm overestimating his ability to act reasonable, but shutting down his Twitter seems the most sane thing he could do right now.

Read about Rosie Ruiz and see how she was caught.

You see, by definition, all of you are actually bullies. Me, Paul, Ross, Cecily and Greg have all been victims of Mike. We are standing up and fight back against the bully.

The rest of you have no legitimate reason to be doing anything against Mike, including trying to get him DQ'd from a race. That is the responsibility of the people who organize the race to catch cheaters. Not yours. Blah, blah, blah, Mike cheated and stole a spot in Boston. It doesn't affect any of you in the least. How did his cheating negatively affect your lives?

It didn't.

But there are a few of us who did nothing but comment on a news story and Mike tried to intimidate us. We have a legitimate reason to stand up to him. And we will and we won't be stopping anytime soon.

Mike making his Twitter private is his way of admitting that he lost. He used his tweets to try claim victory for so many months, but after his Turkey Trot fiasco he knows that we've won. There is no possible way he can run any of the times legitimately. And if he cheats, he now understands how much scrutiny he is under and that there is no way he will get a way with it. He can only make himself look worse. So, he's folding, shutting things down and privately wallowing in his own defeat. Cheating at LVM to run Boston was the worst mistake of his life.

Actually Mike writing that letter to the principal was the worst mistake of his life. No way he gets caught cheating at the LVM without that.

I wonder if it is yet dawning on him why we know he cheated, given the discomfort and talent is takes to run a 3:11:45 or even a sub 20 5k at his age.He is like a 7 year old telling his parents why he should eat dessert first and have cookies for breakfast. His experience is probably less than that. Moron.

This is true. His own ego did him in. This is why I care about this instance of cheating. I enjoy seeing karma wreak havoc on this ba$tard. We missed the opportunity to catch him after VIA because it was brought up way too long after and the RD is incompetent. It would be a grand finale if he was brought down for this 5k. It would be even more embarrassing for the VIA clowns. Not to mention Mike's ego once again screwing him. Video and more pictures will surface and he will have to face the music. No use blocking your Twitter now Mike, come out of your hole and own that amazing time you ran!

I bet Mike was thrilled when he learned about the offer. He thought he could simply put in some miles and run faster, I mean how hard could it be to shave a few minutes off a 5k right? I think once he made that first big attempt (aka the dog race) and ran 23:5x, he must have realized how monumental the effort would have to be to make it happen. It's called hard work Mike. I know you are not familiar with this terminology or its substance, but yeah in some parts of life you actually have to make an effort and bust your a$$, effectively "earning" it. I'm glad you stopped trying to pretend and did what you know best. I guess even cheating takes some hard work which you weren't willing to put in. Pathetic...
