Maybe I am missing something, but if there was a chip mule working with Rossi, wouldn't the finishing times of the chip mule and the ass be the same? No one (and not even noone) had the same finishing time as Rossi.
I presume that two chips crossing the finish line attached to or being carried by the same person might not have the exact same time, but I don't think anyone else's time was that close to Rossi's time.

This.
Honestly, I was just taking the piss out of Ken. The coincidences are just that. I also think it's ridiculous that people need more. It's obvious that Rossi cheated. You can pick numerous reasons which on their own would be enough to convince any rational person (for example, his fake Nike post). Personally the impossible meteoric increase in performance was enough - not to mention the fake 20:15. Just embarrassing. A 12 year old may come up with that scheme, but a 48 year old father? So sad. Even the choice of race by itself is pretty damning. You can keep naming things. If someone said I couldn't run a 20 minute 5k - I would invite them out this weekend to a specific place, or even let them choose the place, and let them follow me and film me. It wouldn't be some bizaar nefarious set up. It's all so ridiculous and obvious he can't run a 20 minute 5k, or he just would. Bottom line.
To me it feels like people are, for no sane reason, buying into Mike's pathetic and illogical argument that only a video of him actually cheating will prove that he's a cheater. That's just not how normal sane people think. He cheated at a turkey trot. He wants to deny it, that just makes him more pathetic - more like a petulant child.
This is all basically reality TV, so if you enjoy doing the sleuthing etc., I don't think you should stop. But, please, don't start thinking anybody actually does need more evidence. That's ridiculous. Mike Rossi cheated at a turkey trot. That happened. Guess what - if it didn't happen you wouldn't need to worry - 48 year old selfie king Mike Rossi would have proven it a long time ago. You know he would have carried his phone and there would be real GPS data, photos etc. if he could run a 5k at that pace. He can't. He's a cheater, a liar and I think you can rest easy in knowing that other than a very few gulliable idiots, everyone knows he's a cheater and a liar. No further work needs to be done on that front.
Also - Ken - please stop mentioning Mike's wife and kids - it makes you look bad and it's not necessary, just the opposite. You didn't like it when he called your child names, why would you do it back? Can you understand what I'm saying to you? Just don't do it.
