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

+1

That's the "Nike Fuel" number. It's a calculation Nike came up with in an attempt to be able to compare efforts across just about any activity.

I had to look that up when I saw it on Mikey's screenshots. At first I thought it was showing steps taken. That would have been awesome because it would have worked out to Mike taking 13 foot strides during his 42 miles of running.

No such luck.

No DQ is necessary.

We all know Barry Bonds, Sammy Sosa, Mark McGuire, etc. were using PEDs and their stats aren't legitimate. But no one's removing their stats from the record books. It's not necessary. We ALL know they cheated.

Just like you. No DQ. It's not necessary. Because EVERYONE knows you cheated.

Why the hell doesn't this guy have a Garmin? Mike, drop a few bucks on a 220 and upload to Garmin Connect and Strava. What do you have to hide?

Mike, you cheated. At Via. And in a Turkey Trot, Mike. Lashing out at the "trolls" only further proves your guilt. It's not just 12 skinny guys who think you cheated. It's all the others, like me, who read this board and don't post. It's your friends, your neighbors. And your family, Mike. They know too. EVERYBODY knows.

The fact Cecily's on to him must be hard to take, tens of thousands follow her and retweet her tweets about him to tens of thousands of others.

Here's her latest tweet and meme photo on Rossi:

Why would it be tough for Mike to handle? One is a well known and liked news person who is also a great runner. The other... plays the chicken dance.

He'll get back to you, it could take a while.

If that was true there would be a DQ.

But there is none. 20,000 posts and NO DQ.

Actually, no DQ is much worse. As long as that 3:11 result at Via stands, Mike will feel compelled to validate that time by at least breaking 20:00 (forget 3:11 or even 3:25), and he will never do it. The task has consumed him. He's driving to New Jersey to cheat at turkey trots and posting fake training runs on Twitter. When he does actually run a 5k, he falls so short of a sub-20, it becomes even MORE obvious he cheated at Via.

Just last Spring, he was Dad of the year and starring in his own self-produced "I Ran Boston!" movie. Now, he's known as the guy who had to cheat to run Boston, and he's tweeting pictures of a medal he won at a sparsely attended 5k where he barely broke 24 minutes.

Sad, really.

And Cecily's local.

And who are the local residents more likely to believe, creepy Rossi or Cecily?

For you, yes it is.

Only a loser would say losing is better.

Losing is better than cheating. At least losers run the entire race.

Only someone who would drive instead of run to the finish line would think cheating is better.

Actually, no DQ is much, much worse. As Cecily says "The saga continues..." and will continue until he comes totally clean, I've already forgotten the name of the MCM fella or where he was from.

The DQ will come when he comes clean.

It is a desperate individual who claims that because they weren't actually DQd it means they didn't cheat when they can't provide one piece of evidence to suggest their "performances" were genuine. When you think about this it is a pretty damning piece of evidence on its own.

The more you prolong this, the worse it will get.

Turkey Trot DQ is imminent, Mike. Get ready...skyfall is coming. Get your story ready for family and whatever friends you think you have because you are going to need it.

No cheating.

No DQ.

You can't get it done after 20,000 posts. You've been trying. You failed. Rationalize it all you want.

Mike Rossi, can you be any more transparent? It is a rhetorical question, by the way.

I wish the Turkey Trot would DQ him based on the shady chip differential along with that photo where he's missing and the doctored GPS log, that really should be enough. That would be Mike's worst case scenario, he'd still be getting crap from the lack of closure at LVM and have a DQ on his record from the hometown turkey trot.

here is the problem with DQ: His name with that huge timing differential get deleted. I want that to stay up as it just shows what a desperate scumbag this guy is. I don't want him ever to be DQed. Let the man CHEAT!!!!!! I LOVE IT!!! This thread is so entertaining, that a DQ would ruin the party
