Another longtime lurker, posting for the first time. I can't speak for the other first-time posters, but in my case, three things finally pulled me in:
- A desire to thank the long-time posters for all the laughs (and, more seriously, for keeping the pressure on).
- A need to show that this story is being followed by FAR more people than the regular posters here. (It's been a topic of conversation on training runs with friends who, as far as I know, have little or no involvement with LRC.)
- A sense that between the Great Turkey Trot Fiasco and the Patch article, the jig is just about up.
(And yes, if anyone is skeptical, I'm a legit poster. Used to be pretty active on this board about ten years ago, when I was running more seriously. I'm older and slower now but still love the sport and loathe cheaters.)
Why thank you ever so much, your kindness fans the flames in my heart.Why I think I hear my son now: Clip clop clip clop the sweetest sound going round the block.

Down with the cheats I say.
Welcome aboard, thanks for helping to validate how big this really is and for the record all of my running friends know about this story also. I think the term "Rossi-ing a course" or "don't Rossi that" is going to stick around for a long time.
Wowzerz! This thread is epic!!!!! Just paying respect.

If so, follow my direction:
1) Cheat
2) Threaten with AOL lawyer
3) Congratulations
Hey Darth, WHO'S YOUR DADDY NOW?
You think your side is dark YOU AIN'T SEEN NOTHING YET. Nor will you in the pit of despair. OH HI MIKE. Just bragging on you, son.
Longtime lurker, first time poster. I've read every single post. I remember the days of SaraB's spreadsheet. It seems there are many lurkers, which I assumed was the case.
Mike's been quiet on Twitter. Too quiet. Usually he'd be posting threatening messages to all the trolls by now. I'm going to tell myself he's busy writing his EPIC confession. Fingers crossed, at least for the sake of his family.

Say you cheated and I will never post here again.
* I'm embarrassed to have to add this one caveat, but you can't say you cheated and they rescind your admittance of guilt. You can't Rossi the apology.
That will never happen. Everything he has shown of himself will simply not allow him to ever admit he's a cheater. As sad as it is, Boston is all that guy has. And, look at his history - this is a guy who cheated at a turkey trot (a freaking turkey trot) in an effort to make people believe that he didn't cheat at a marathon. He then, to cover up his turkey trot cheating, created fake data to try to prove he didn't cheat at a turkey trot. This is what he does. We all know he's busy feebly trying to come up with some new lies to try to cover the old lies. Mike's only got the one speed - lying and ridiculous attempts at intimidation - and so he is going to keep going and going until he swallows the horse.

Does anyone know what Mike does during the weekday? What is his real job?

He attaches those little balls on rubber cords to the wooden paddles.
The sympathetic side of me hopes he is coming up with an apology. This is almost like watching a football game where the team you are rooting against is getting the score run up on them. You kind of hope that the other team just takes a knee. But the reality probably is that he is trying to come up with something else to make it look like he ran either of the races. Mike, believe me on this, just come clean and your life will do a 180. Everyone will understand and you can turn this around. Hell, Satan may even give you a hall pass (pun intended).

I agree. I hope he does what is right. There is no one - not a runner, not a local and probably not a family/friend member - who doesn't know he cheated. This has to be painful and awkward for them. Maybe Mike will think of someone else, for once.
Nah.... time to unleash the "where's the DQ?" guy again.

I'm sure mr. Rossi takes lots of knees (pun intended)

Mike is not from Philly, nor does he live in Philly. Those of us that were born and raised in Philly do not want him associated with our beloved city.
Right now, I'd say Mike Rossi is the second most famous former resident of Haddon Township, South Jersey
