[3][4] After appearances on the Today show and Fox & Friends, controversy erupted over how Rossi qualified for the Boston Marathon.

Rossi had submitted a qualifying time of 3:11 that he had supposedly run in the Lehigh Valley Health Network Via Marathon.

"[6] The organizers of the Lehigh Valley Via Marathon sent LetsRun a statement explaining why they could not disqualify Rossi's time, stating it was "simply because they received no reports of wrongdoing as the race took place."

[8] Meanwhile, the organizers of the Lehigh Valley Via Marathon announced that they had taken several steps to verify runner participation and timing accuracy after the Rossi incident.

The marathon committee added four on-course timing mats and video surveillance at several locations that Via began archiving.

[13] On August 19, 2017, Rossi was arrested outside the Wells Fargo Center for allegedly punching a 47-year-old woman following a Tim McGraw and Faith Hill concert.

"[14] On January 5, 2020, Upper Gwynedd Township law enforcement officers were called to the scene of a domestic disturbance.
