I've been wondering this as well. Has anybody checked recently to see if all of the evidence that Sara B posted on her spreadsheet and blog is still there?

I forget the link.

They have been silenced.

Runner Felice seems to have disappeared as well. He made some strong accusations early.

Odd then that we see this on LVM facebook page:

"Runner Felice: You could not pay me to run this race

4 · May 30 at 12:34pm"

Don't you think, Mike?

And now you can, at least some, guessing they're in fire suppression mode. Keep the pressure on.

He won. It's time for us to move on folks.

His name will forever be associated with cheating. He's now the second most famous cheater next to Rosie Ruiz. Is that "winning?"

We need to petition Boston Marathon to implement a new rule that specifically calls for a minimum of one "Rossi mat" or one "Rossi camera" in all Boston qualifying races. Rossi mats would be defined as timing mats placed in undisclosed locations to catch people trying to "pull a Rossi" and not run the full course and Rossi cameras would be video cameras placed in undisclosed locations set to film during the "Boston qualifying time window".

^^^ This ^^^

There were no winners here. MR will forever be the poster boy for an egotistical cheating asshat. Unfortunate that he made a principal, his wife and kids and a marathon all losers in the process.

Anybody who is close to the situation knows that Runner Felice has not been quiet or anonymous like you. Maybe showing up on minor children's Facebook pics by liking them as well as others who have commented on your "run" publicly is your way of being heard. Just really creepy and aggressive.

You can't be a serious runner or understand that the integrity of running a BQ is serious business. MR supporter...

FWIW, I am glad runner felice is no longer posting. He was a bit too mental for my taste.

Did you hit it hard Zuck? Come on man...

A little bit clearer for you the second time around, Mike?

He would need a gap between runners to sneak out onto the course to creep toward the finish line. I would love to know where he did that to pull it off.

Perhaps we could use the crowdfunding that was going to go toward LR's legal fees to pay Mike to admit that he cheated.

Everybody has their price.

Great idea. What we need is to add something totally useless that will increase entry fees. As if they aren't high enough already.

Why the h*ll should we give money to this guy? I know he cheated. I'm not going to pay him to say so.
