It' just all media and news seem obsessed with him. I just wondered if his gran was from Coventry or something.

not really but he is an exceptional athlete who has done something fairly special. Praise where it's due.

Or we could try the North Korea route and just report that the home nation won by an excellent margin as shown by these highlights (not they wear 3 different uniforms during the game and rebuilt the stadium twice.

He's a world breaking and dominant athlete in the sports blue ribbon event, he gives good interviews and has personality and character. He is box office.

He is a good thing for sport, not sure I see what your problem is, if you enjoy sport surely you can enjoy the performances of the very best no matter what their nationality is, especially when they bring a bit of wow factor to the sport.

I have no problem. I'm just quite surprised that every single thing he does ends up on mainstream news. That is all.

He is a truly exceptional athlete.

Just look at all those drugs cheats he's thrashed. Showing the world it can be done clean.

He also has excellent taste in after-event party partners.

What a lovely young man, giving those poor homeless young athletes somewhere to stay.

A fine example for the youth of today.

Of course, there's nothing more than vague circumstantial evidence to suggest he's [i]not[/i] clean, but the fact his training partner is a doper...
