Well I think to qualify as a troll you have actually trick someone into thinking you are serious . . .
SmartRunnr on the other hand is a weird unfunny person who can't countertroll at all (like when we remind him of how he told us he had relations with Mike and Ken in a week-old portapotty).
Disgusting.
Is this a joke?
Yeah but can he prove he won that one in Germany?
"Opposite of Mike Rossi: Winner of Chinese marathon DQ for cheating, protests and is reinstated"Cool, quadruple opposite, as Mike wasn't DQ'ed, didn't cheat, didn't protest, and wasn't reinstated. But...

ya, musical education in addition to culinary arts.
actual quote from Mike's original letter: "they learned about dedication, commitment, love, perseverance, overcoming adversity, civic pride, patriotism, American history, culinary arts and physical education."

Neither Mike nor the committee made any mention of photos or witnesses.
Try to keep up.

Clarification: other than in what they first said they intended to do. In their statement, the marathon made no mention of talking to any witnesses and made no mention of photos. Mike never claimed to have photos of himself in the race other than the start and finish and never submitted any evidence to the brojos to pick up the cash.
SmartRunnr previously claimed that Rossi did a Kip Litton and changed shirts during the race and the guy on the edge of some photos wearing a different color shirt than what Rossi started and finished in was in fact Rossi. Those were easily debunked. Mike had posted those photos in Twitter, I think, hoping someone would make the case for him while he avoided actually saying he changed shirts during the race and that those photos were him.

In short, they received their Ph.D. in Rossi.

No he did not. Pay attention. Stop this slander.
I'll play. Opposite of Mike Rossi...
What is classy?
What is intelligent?
What is honest?
What is not disgusting?
that's a link to an interview with Frank Shorter and has nothing to do with a Chinese marathon DQ.

You're joking right? I've offerd Mike $500 for access to the photos and $500 for access to his google location history for that day. He hasn't taken me up on it. I wonder why.
I'll also pay $500 to talk to the 'witnesses' who will vouch that he ran the whole thing. You'd think a guy that took makes a minidocumentary about him running Boston and his kids out of school and spent thousands on a family trip to watch him run in Boston would have had the family actually take 30 minutes to show up at the local race where he'd qualify by 13+ minutes.
Lehigh valley's statement about him not being DQd mentioned nothing about him proving he ran the race. It simple said no one reported him cheating during the race. It actually implied that he might have cheated in the race.
"While there is data from Rossi's participation in other racing events indicating that Rossi's time may not be accurate, there is not conclusive evidence that his time in the 2014 LVHN Via Marathon is inaccurate,"
Apparently the guy was able to prove he actually did indeed run the race.

LRCers, can you figure out he showed he ran it?

Sorry. I put the wrong link up there:
http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2015-10/18/c_134724784.htm?Thought everyone would enjoy this link about a Chinese marathoner who won a race in China but was DQd as they didn't think he ran the course. He protested and proved he ran it and was reinstated.

Can't spell businessman, redundant runner and BM finisher, and forgot slow lying piece of shit.
Glad to hear it doesn't say he's a Boston Marathon qualifier. Finisher is correct. Qualifier would be incorrect.

Yes you did. You said the guy in the black shirt was Rossi. Rossi was wearing a gray shirt at the start and finish.

Rossi did not prove anything nor did the Committee say that he did. In fact, in an email to me, Rossi stated that he was provided photos that were not publicly displayed on US Candids' webpage by the Committee. However, US Candids in both an email to me and phone conversation stated unequivocally that ALL PHOTOS were posted on their webpage and therefore the Committee did not provide any additional US Candids photos. If he had suchj photos, he would share them publicly or with LetsRun and collect easy money. Anyone with a shred of veracity or integrity, like the Chinese marathoner, would provide exculpatory evidence.
