Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but my reading was completely different. Just why even to bother to pose a question in which you already know the answer beforehand? If one wanted to cause a similar reaction from part of the athletes and give the public pretty much the same amount of new information, it would be a more time-saving strategy just to say "Hey Usain. f-k you!".
These press conferences where these "brave" journalists roast athletes (Kimmage vs. Lance 2009) are rare instances where there is some truth in the notion of the great thinker Homer Simpson, who once remarked that "it takes to two lie: one to lie and one to listen".
