Sorry, but I do not understand the comments made by 'Anonymous'. Is there some context not explained?
The opportunity to train, to take a test, to push your limits, is the gift of living. To lose the chance when taken away by bad politics (1980), by others tempted to cheat by doping, or just to suffer the consequences of poor health, is a hard lesson.
To learn from your mistakes, to never give up so easily, and to learn the benefits of healthy living: that is the gift of Sport!
Nice try, Stephen!

Kiesling what in the hell were you thinking. It is more than just having the opportunity to compete, it is being competitive. It is very disgraceful that you would enter a race just to enter. You deserve the beating that you took….it is good to see that you didn’t show the end of the race. Get real and next time think about how you would felt about the athletes you beat in 1979 at the trials. Recalling that day you made fun of the losers, but then again pompous Yalies, like yourself forget easily what it is like to compete at a world class level. It is more than just about the uniforms.
