phelps 7,437 Posted July 10, 2019 #78 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Just now, heywoodu said: Well yeah but I had never heard accusations like this before well, you know...he's the superstar of the game... he still is an amazing athlete and has this unbelievable streak going... there's no doubt about it... but... but, as many greats in any sport, sometimes his results go beyond what he actually does on the mat (not that I'm saying anything new or accusing him to not deserve the success he has had in the past and still has right now)... I guess it's part of the modern sport system... and I accept it, but I like to let people know that there's still someone noticing that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
