He only got away with in in this World, Raj. Remember, there's a Special Circle of Hell for people like himIn my mind this is how they're laid down First Circle: People Who Fudge Their Training Logs Second Circle: Bike Thieves Third Circle: Bandits, People Who Fake Bibs, and Those Who Take TWO Finishers Medals Fourth Circle: Dopers and Other Assorted Cheats Fifth Circle: Gamblers and Sportswriters Sixth Circle: Sports Agents Seventh Circle: Team Owners Eighth Circle: League Commissioners Ninth Circle: Al Davis ... Alone for now, but saving spaces for Jerry Jones, Donald Sterling, Dan Snyder and Mr. Ed Snider, at least
I got sucked into the Mike Rossi cheating thread over on letsrun.com pretty early on. Then back in early June, following the non-dq decision, I converted a large gif file that someone had created and posted it to my youtube accounthttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DxKfEiOfGmYFollowing my posting of this, Mike Rossi tweeted out references to a line from "Taken" - "I will find you and I will kill you" followed by a pic of me after getting hit by a van in a triathlon (http://forum.slowtwitch.com/cgi-bin/gforum.cgi?post=806641#806641) along with the words "This guy". Needless to say, that has kept me sucked into this whole thing. I've been in touch with some media and there should be some updated media coverage of this cheater! I wrote a blog post about the whole thing herehttp://triathleteguru.blogspot.com/2015/07/running-with-cheaters.html

It was the straw that broke the camel's back.Cindy didn't like the media attention at all. Didn't you notice that she ever participated in an interview about the viral letter?And yes, she is fully aware of the way Mike qualified for Boston. She doesn't really care about that, but she hates how this has taken over their life. Angry runners have been calling them, Mike is surfing the internet all day, Jack and Victoria are being bullied, they have to pay a lawyer...Cindy just wants a quiet life again.

Guest post from STThe heat is STILL on... and the Letsrun thread is 500+ pages
Still <1/3 of the size of the Procreative Updates thread in Yammering.
... PLUS it's stupid and girly
Classy.
LetsRun.com, a running website, published a detailed article on Friday outlining the evidence that calls into question Rossi’s results. The website also challenged Rossi, 47, from Rydal, Pennsylvania, to match his time at Via, 3:11:45, within the next 12 months. If he succeeds, LetsRun.com promises to pay him $100,000. If Rossi can't match or better his time from the Via Marathon in 2014, LetsRun.com will give him $10,000 if he runs 3:25 over the next year or if he breaks 70:00 for 10 miles or 20:00 for a 5K by the end of 2015. To earn the prize money, Rossi would have to make the attempt on a certified course.
Was it Rossi/one of his "friends"?Could have been his clever plan. QuoteThe guy wasn't a friend. He was posting anonymously until outed as a former colleague. The thread then took an odd turn and offered a glimpse into the world of wedding production. Apparently, this other guy had scammed lots of wedding couples out of their money for video services never rendered. He said he got behind, had personal issues, etc., but it wasn't until the Attorney General forced him to make good on his deals that he finally got around to delivering the videos - in some cased, I believe several years later.At some point in their working relationship, this guy and MR had a falling out and then when the guy started posting comments on some of the local online "viral dad cheating" articles, MR took to bashing him on FB and Twitter. That's when this guy joined the crusade to crucify MR and get him DQed and started posting on the LR thread.It just escalated from there and really drove the thread from the time the non-DQ was announced until the LR article offering the payouts was posted. I'm sure MR himself was posting from time to time as he was posting stuff only he could know about the guy's family.At one point, the acquaintance received a C&D letter from MR's attorney (who, hilariously enough, still works with an aol email account). He stopped posting for a short while, but was soon back with a vengeance. It just got to be a little too much with personal attacks and calling out family members. The poster (who is apparently a ~300-lb non-runner) was warned several times by the Brojos (and other posters), but I guess it finally came to a head and they had to pull the thread.Maybe they're weeding through posts to eliminate any libelous comments - or perhaps LR received a C&D letter themselves. It's too bad as there was a lot of good research done by the running community to prove through photo evidence and analysis of other race performances that there was no way this guy ran the full course in 3:11 on that day.The other guy is still posting as LMR on the other thread.
