Sammy Wanjiru's tragedy is real.

Wow, I'm really interested to see how this turns out.

There is one thing I have learned. When a famous athlete beats a woman, there will always be idiots who take the side of the athlete. Americans are such celebrity hounds, it is embarrassing.

Native Son: Could I send you some questions by e-mail for Running Times? You can write to me at scott AT runningtimes DOT com. Thanks.

Wanjiru and his wife have reconciled. Good thing too, because if he really did try and cheat on her, and if most of the allegations are true, then he better damn not try and get any other women ever again, and she probably would deserve better. I'll be interested to see how this continues to turn out though, and see if they find any other evidence on the matter.

NativeSon is your handle a reference to Richard Wright's book of the same name?

I appreciate the background, which I'll take at face value.

Sammy = moron = done like dinner.

No one really wins in these situations.

I though I rember reading a story after Bejing of him getting robbed in Kenya, Hence leading him to aquiring a gun.

Wow, I just discovered this thread. Thanks, Native Son!

And you bumped it so you can dance on his grave?

The guy has been dead for a few hours and the idiots are already crawling out of the woodworks.

I appreciate the bump... you'll have idiots screaming "EPO!" otherwise.

Very sad that he died so young.

It's called "woodwork," not "woodworks."

Keep looking in those trees. Eventually you'll spot the forest

Had letsrun.com been around when Pre was killed I'm sure we would have seen these posts too. Whatevs. Just ignore.

you are not familiar with the type of women that tend to gravitate towards athlete...

it takes two to tango....

Well, this sure drives it home, though, huh? Not to dance on anyone's grave. But wow, you reap what you sow! His actions finally caught up with him.

Not to be a scold but, whenever anyone prefaces a statement in a manner such as "Not to dance on anyone's grave but..." yeah, you know what's coming.

Anyways, thanks to Native Son. This is a truly illuminating background to Sammy's tragic life. Clearly he was a child in a man's body, and made tremendously bad choices in his personal life. But I don't condemn so much as pity.
