Oh my Jesus!
This one deserves a new thread by me. I apologise but I just had to.
I have been watching football the whole (Sunday) morning -Man U and Man City friendlies in which they both lost. Then, I turn on to The Standard (Kenya) newspaper to catch up with our local news.
My eye caught a subheading "Tyson Gay tests positive for a banned substance" and I exclaimed "Oh God!"
That was literally 12 or so minutes ago. I woke up at 7.30 and have just been watching football and reading newspapers. I knew nothing of this big story until I saw the standard 15 minutes ago.
The source was BBC. I go to BBC website and it's right there.
I come to LRC and then, there was his photo crossed out.
I am heart broken, I SWEAR!
This guy was my hero and my idol.
I thought he was the only guy who would never dope.
I thought he was the only trustworthy guy.
Now I don't know what or who to believe any more.
TYSON GAY!
I don't even think he talks to Justin Gatlin. I held him to a very lofty pedestal. What a letdown!
I could have handled it if it was anyone else (perhaps other than Carmelita Jeter too).
I am talking about sprinters.
TYSON GAY!
In Athletics, we have the Ethiopia -Kenya duel. I support Kenya because obviously, it is my country.
In the sprints, we have Jamaica-USA duel. I support the US. Don't ask me why. That's just how I go.
Now my idol is done.
My question is; DO WE HAVE ONE CLEAN SPRINTER OUT THERE?
If so, who?
I am devastated. God!
Maajabu!
