My guess is that Mike just sat in his car somewhere during the marathon. Likely a parking garage near the finish. Looking at pictures of himself on his phone.
To take another quote from Animal House, no not the one that got me in trouble because of some out of touch lawyer churning his fee, Mike was probably saying what Flounder said, "Oh boy is this great! ... This is going to be GREAT!"

We can agree to disagree.
I see it this way; if a witness said, "Yep, I saw him leave the course," they would have probably called that conclusive and disqualified him. But eye witnesses are wrong all the time. I think the photographic evidence is better than that. Being photographed doing something once, or not being photographed doing something thousands of times have a weight that can evaluated by a jury. I think what we have is conclusive and the Brojos have risked being sued because they agree.
Also, he didn't get away with it. When everyone knows you did something and your legacy will be that you are a cheat, I don't think you got away with it. He has escaped sanctions. That's about it.
And I see your point but Mike Rossi's status in life will not be affected at all by being accused as a cheater in a race because there are just not enough people affected by it or would care about it . He is a successful and admired person in his community and the wedding and radio industry and just like any successful person they all have their detractors, it's a fact of life, if you don't have detractors you must not be successful . He is still on that country station , still doing weddings, his successes and the people who support him outnumber his detractors . Running a race or any other hobby is considered a personal pursuit , and nobody cares what the plumber down the street does in his time off when they have a leaky pipe , as long as the plumber fixes the leaky pipe it doesn't matter to Mrs Smith if he didn't tag 3rd base on his way home at last sundays softball game

I think he was listening to this song over and over again.

You clearly don't know what it means to run Boston and train for years to get there. Mike took that from somebody.

Oh FFS, not this stupid canard again.
The singular act of Mike Rossi cheating at LVM (which he most certainly did do - he cheated like a cheating cheater who cheats) did not deny any other runner a Boston bib.
Learn the facts before you post.
Who are you guys ? wrote:
Why do any of you guys think that VIA had any obligation to include LR in their investigation ? Who are you ?
Do you think the NFL should've included you in their investigation of Tom Brady ? Or the Patriots Spygate investigation ?
Should FIFA be including you in their scandal investigation ?
How about the Pete Rose saga ?
What relevance would anyone associated with this board have in an unbiased investigation ? Particularly when none of you have ALL of the info .
VIA has no obligation to convince you . and why would they want to ?
"OHHHH BUT THE INTEGRITY OF OUR SPORT IS SO IMPORTANT" goes the battle cry !
Exactly why you guys were NOT INCLUDED , because the integrity of the investigation required that you be excluded .
I find it hard to believe that you doubt that an investigation conducted by posters of Letsrun.com wouldn't be taken seriously.
This post is a shining example of objective journalism.
The fact that as I type this, the thread next to it is entitled "hey arabs, go back to your own country" does not in any way diminish the integrity of this thread...

i do not know how it works , others here don't know either and it'd be enlightening to the subject if someone explained it so that misconception could be cleared up

Knock Knock!
Who's there?
Canard.
Canard who?
If Mike Rossi ran 21:52 for 5k, then I Canard-ly believe he ran a 3:11 marathon!

Are you being serious? It's only because he's got no status, he's a freaking wedding DJ, that it likely won't matter too much that he's known as a cheater and who subsequently lied to get into Boston. If he was a professional, or had some other job where integrity mattered, it would be all bad for him. Mike is lucky that he's a total loser with a crappy meaningless job that's normally done by high school drop outs and college kids. If he was a real "personality", Brian Williams, and he exaggerated a story, it would have serious consequences. You if Brian Williams cheated to get into Boston and then bragged about it he would have kept his job? No. Mike Rossi is a cheater and lucky for him he's also a total loser.

Not buying it, Rossi. Your reputation as a cheater has gone global. And, there are now many people who interact with you on a daily basis who know you cheated to run in Boston, including just about every teacher and parent at your kids' school. They won't say anything to your face, but they are talking about you and laughing at you behind your back.
Maybe the fact you cheated to get into Boston wouldn't have been a big deal to them if you hadn't made running Boston such a big deal, but you made it a super big deal when you posted your snarky response to the principal's form letter, a response you posted on-line but never even sent directly to the principal. That's when you showed your true colors as a world-class d-bag!
You are the personification of a piece of poop, Rossi. None of us would want to be you, not a single one of us. Not the Brojos, not gatorade&vodka, not runner felice, not GregTR, not WWRD, not Reg Fields, not p00pbreathbillionaire, not abingtonrunner, not Torontooo, not Raysism, not mileage man, not KudzuRunner, not SaraB, not Marathon Mind, not Peter Finley, not somebloke, not The guy who gives +1, not even Ken. Keep telling yourself that you won, Rossi, but you won nothing except the contempt of runners everywhere.
Congratulations on the upgrade and reinstatement of the title. Nearly 4000 post after the thread was hidden is quite impressive.

'I don't think so', 'smoking crack', aka RossiCheated (the multi handle man), this is really eating you up isn't it. Please, get some perspective on life or seek help, you come across as someone who's about to tip themselves over the edge.
Re your comment "If he was a professional, or had some other job where integrity mattered, it would be all bad for him". Mike may not be a "professional" in your opinion but he is very professional in what he does and also very successful. Sorry that sticks in your craw but it may be time for you to get out of the basement and move on. And please save us all the POS stuff, etc, etc, if that's the best you can come up with then, Mike wins, again.

New evidence, please! wrote:GregTR, good to see the release of the article has got you motivated and returned you to the fold, but some new evidence would be nice, please!
There is no new evidence and there is no need for any.
Have you spoken to the LVM RD and USATF lately, I think you'll find they disagree.
