Good Lord, you people are daft wrote:
A game you lose wrote:Ok. Lets play this game. Lets all pretend this is actually a criminal trial. Little boy Mikey doesn't have to say a thing. The state puts forward their evidence of guilt: his known running history, his blog posts etc. the lack of him being in any photographs at the race, and say a running expert on his inability to run a 3:11 marathon. The evidence is overwhelming that he cheated. The state sits down. Mikey's turn. He exercises his right to silence. So. Nothing against the preponderance of evidence of guilt. Wait, maybe he calls a DJ buddy to say this: "he wasn't' DQ"d" and "Mike wins". So, the jury weighs all of the evidence of guilt against the two statements "but he wasn't' DQ'd" and "Mike wins". Result - conviction.
So, yeah, stay silent Mikey, but in that silence everyone knows you cheated because all they have to go on is the overwhelming amount of evidence that you cheated and nothing to show you didn't cheat but empty meaningless tag lines.
Mike Rossi is a cheater.
Your analogy sucks.
The trial has already occurred, and Mikey has been found innocent.
Crazy, I know. We all saw the evidence, and couldn't believe the verdict returned. Not guilty. Shocking. But his name is still on the LVM results, and his name is still on the BAA results. That means the records consider him innocent. The official records.
If you have trouble understanding this, I want you to think of OJ. Yeah, OJ.
Because OJ is officially innocent in the killing of Nicole Simpson and Ron Brown.
Travesty of justice. Blah blah blah.
But it's over. Your best hope is for Mikey to cheat again and be caught (doubtful). Just like OJ.
Until then, you need to get over it or cry yourself to sleep. Because this story is over. There is no new evidence. There is no new mainstream media story. The LVM "Justice Committee" isn't going to "re-open the case" to hear the obviously biased lunatic ramblings of a ragtag bunch of losers who should have moved on a month ago.
FFS, you are now being led by a 300 lb. fraud artist who openly admits he can't run to catch the ice cream truck, and is only doing this to get an apology because Mikey caught him sleeping on the job, and he somehow feels he deserves an apology.
You are judged by the company you keep.
For the few actual runners left in this cesspool of a thread, take solace in the fact that the issue of no mats at a marathon has had a bit of a spotlight shone on it. I'm hoping RDs take it more seriously, but I know I am just setting myself up for disappointment.
And for those who are only here for a personal grudge against Mikey, know that he will always be a joke in the running community. Many of you think of him as Rossi Ruiz, but I think we can all agree that "the OJ of marathoning" is way better - because I was the one who thought of it.
I love you guys. But seriously, you need help.
