Video Highlights 2015 Boston Marathon
April 20, 2015
It's app specific. Most apps don't do a countdown before the timing actually starts, so there's no reason to start them before the gun goes off.
It wouldn't affect his overall time if he paused it immediately and then un-paused when he crossed the start line.
I guess he didn't care about the details because it was really only to show his twitter fans that he's countering our accusations with proof. They won't know better or are also too lazy to check.

Really, I know he's not the sharpest tool in the shed. But still: Getting the accurate starting time on a fabricated GPS file shouldn't be too hard, right?

several other holes were punched in the Nike+ shot he posted, including a gap and the lack of color variation. The fact that he shut his twitter down quickly once questions arose and it was shown how easy it was to create a fake Nike+ run is very telling.
When will we see Mike's twitter page again? He is too much of a teenaged girl to keep it blocked for very long.
On the plus side, the Mike Rossi meme page is going strong.

There is one guy who really wants Ken to stop - he tried with threats, insults and intimidation, he hired a lawyer to send him a cease and desist letter and he even phoned the police on Ken. The guy also lies and cheats. It's also the guy who this thread is about.
So when people come on here and insult and attack Ken, I just wonder what their real motivation is? Right when people were talking about how the "time issue" clearly shows Mike Rossi created a fake Nike Run post, which shows he cheated - suddenly the thread is deflected and certain people are talking about Ken and insulting him using language that Mike Rossi would be proud of.
Whatever, do what you need to do to feel good about yourself - but, if Rossi wants Ken to stop, wouldn't you rather he didn't and kept bothering Rossi instead? Yeah, as I said more than once, Ken should stop mentioning his family, but for whatever reason Ken sure bugs the hell out of Mike and I see that as provoking Mike to keep doing the stupid stuff he's doing.
Amen.

Wow, that is a very good point. I will stop berating Ken. Sorry Ken!
Probably once he thinks he has dodged another DQ. Then he'll puff up again and strut his weak stuff. Imagine living this lie. Dude.

Reasons:
1. Ken has zero interest in running or cheating. Just motivated by a petty feud and mental illness.
2. Ken has done nothing significant here. Started a lame facebook group and sent everybody running (no pun intended).
3. Ken bullies children online and comes up with lame excuses for why it is ok (remind you of anyone?).
Number 3 is reason enough to get this swine out of here. However, brojos allow him to post for the $$.
I stand up to bullies like Ken and Mike and won't be silenced.

As a Nike Running user, I can tell you a few reasons why it doesn't make sense:
1) You can turn the countdown off.
2) Even if you use the countdown, it's a benefit because you can hit "start" right before you're about to cross the starting mat and it gives you 3 seconds to stow your phone away. No need to fumble with all that at the start line when you're trying to run.
3) Once you start your run, it starts using your GPS heavier. Why burn your battery early?

Exactly.

Hi Ken!
With a username like that, one would expect a little bit more focus on the question at hand here and less in stating hundreds of times what you think about some other guy.
In that, you have a resemblance with that finishermedal guy who also became a little repetitive in his attacks on Ken.

Hi Ken!
Plenty of good reasons to boot him from here, but I think Ken is a lethal weapon so to speak. As the only one who openly defies and harasses back Mike he definitely keeps things interesting. For example, I don't think it was a coincidence that Mike blocked his twitter immediately after Ken posted the 26.2 Nike app snapshot. He's tracking Ken's moves. He shouldn't be posting here for obvious reasons and I've even offered to post some of his more entertaining tweets, but guess the man is relentless.Now what I really want is a lock of Mike's hair. Ken, if you can bring that to me I will give you $10k!

At least one person gets it. Many of you just sit here and call Mike names and all it does is provoke him to create new screen names and call you names back.
I've provoked him to have his attorney send me a C&D and he's called the police on me. And they can't do anything because I haven't even threatened Mike. My tweets and posts have gotten into his head and ticked him off. And if you read them I haven't wished a single bad thing on his family. I am merely pointing out to Mike the damage he has done to them. So he's been thinking about the pain he is causing his family with his lying and cheating.
And the damage is going to get worse over time as he continues to perpetrate his lies. Any shred of respect that anybody once had for him is slowly slipping away.

No reply on Strava, none to the e-mail. I didn't feel eager to get in there with my personal Strava account, so maybe it looked fishy to him when some weird Uzhorod-guy contacted him. I got blocked from seeing his runs with the Uzhorod-account as well. I can see them with my normal account though.
The man doesn't seem willing to cooperate.
Feel free to try for yourself.

RE: Likely cheater in Haddon Township Turkey Trot 5k this past weekendâ€
From: Charles Sellers (cisellers@verizon.net)
Sent: Wednesday, 2 December 2015 11:30:54 PM
I am Chuck Sellers the owner of dq Events and yes we timed the Haddon Township Turkey Trot, which is a small time local race for charity, we chip time it with chronotrack timing system (used at NY Marathon) but we do not have a video of the start or the finish. The timing is donated to this race (I make nothing on the timing) so the charity makes more proceeds so we keep the costs of timing low. I am a bit confused in your article it states “we’ll also give him $10,000 if by the end of 2015 he breaks 70:00 in a standard 10-mile course or 20:00 for 5kâ€, well his time at the Turkey trot
48 MICHAEL ROSSI JENKINTOWN PA 48 M 373 20:25 21:07 6:49 3/40 M4549 35/335 M
doesn ‘t show him breaking 20 minutes for a 5k, so I don’t see the point? Also we have local volunteers on the course at most turns and intersections and no one reported anybody cutting the course.
If this company is concerned about paying this amount to him why don’t they hire someone to put on a go pro and run behind him, that would be proof enough also his time should be based on gun time not chip time like usatf rules for giving awards.
I have his bib number at 373 and his official start time was 9:06:42.03 (time of day) 431 place
His official finish time is 9:27:06.47 for 48th place,
As an athlete myself I am concerned over the integrity of the sport and this does send up ar ed flag but I really have no solid proof to dq him.
I hope the times help you out?
Sincerely,
Chuck Sellers

The VALID POINT is that if you cheat, whether there is a money prize at stake or not, you should be DQ'd. It is a simple concept to understand. It devalues the efforts of those who don't cheat. It matters to the person in Rossi's age group who placed 4th instead of 3rd. It is a matter of Integrity, that is why it matters and the difference it makes.
See the section "Why Does It Matter" in this Runner's World article
http://www.runnersworld.com/racing/how-common-is-cheating-at-marathons.
OK, so I lied re first and last post, definitely last post.
"The VALID POINT is that if you cheat, whether there is a money prize at stake or not, you should be DQ'd." - I agree, I've highlighted a couple of his valid points though, you may like to take it up with him. Also, perhaps you can get out there and tail Rossi next time?

Oh, that would be like bringing back the broomstick of the Wicked Witch of the West. That would be much more fun than diving to Haddon Township on a cold Saturday morning. I'll start working on a plan. ;-)
