On the list at #5 you said Rossi is well known in running circles, I say this lets run thread running circles he is but not anywhere else. Not all runners know who he is and as an example I will use that girl Elizabeth from the Turkey Trot who is an avid runner. When triathlete guru reached out to her for info she tweeted she had no idea who Rossi was.
I can speak from my own experience while travelling since this statertd, while running I've met runners all over in California, Washington, Colorado, British Columbia, Alberta and Ontario who know that Mike Rossi and his cheating. mostly people really don't feel too strongly about his jogging Boston because he's such a crap runner. I'd say it's more of finding him to be the butt of a joke kind of interest - a runner that has to cheat to qualify for Boston, but he's such a bad runner it's obvious based on his times alone that he cheated. Only a few seemed passionate about it, hes more just a joke than people actually care that he needed to cheat to run boston. The old man wedding dj runs pretty high on the mocking him scale too, so not so much anger as laughter. its a good running story to talk about with people youve just met. i didn't ask anyone where they learned about him.
This thread has gone off the hook wacky lately, Rossi is seriously losing his mind over this thread. Are you the cheater himself? whats got you so wound up? if it makes you feel better i think cindy's face looks like a melted candle. fuggly, but beggers cant be choosers. any port in a storm,as they say
