Brief Answer:
ACL rupture not likely.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
A full thickness ACL rupture is usually painful and is not associated with a stable knee joint. One is not likely to have a fitness level like you are having with a ruptured ACL.
The MRI scan may have been misinterpreted. It is best to get a repeat MRI scan done for confirmation.
Even if there is a rupture, an arthroscopic surgical repair will help in restoring your ligament to normal.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.

As bad as it sounds, i feel no pain even after doing 100 squats whatsoever! What is wrong?? As far as this Report in concern. I should be in a wheelchair!! Not running 1.5k under 10:30 or doing tabs..i m totally shocked! Has the radiographer mixed up patient???
Brief Answer:
A second opinion is needed.
Detailed Answer:
Having no pain even on doing squats is strange. The MRI report clearly indicates a tear. It is best to get a repeat MRI scan done for a second opinion.
