I'm surprised there's no thread already about this. Is it because it's not an Australian case?

Well I never new about him until the murder.

My first words when I heard this were along the line of I wonder if he has ever been tested for steroid use.

[cherry*135]

I never heard of him either.

He was all over the news during the Olympic games. How could you not have heard of him?

I've been aware of him for years.  I saw him in the Olympics and the Paralympics ... I was so impressed with him, until he complained about the athlete who beat him.

This is a good article about the case ... 

It's one of those situations where no-one's a winner ... he had overcome so much, and so had she ... and their lives appear to have ended ... at the same time ... for no point.

I'm wondering the same thing. Not sure about steroids thing, but the defense is really odd.

Not into sport.

I have been reading about him, since he has been in the news now though.
