In what might just be a case of ‘roid rage’, South African star athlete Oscar Pistorius’ previous bouts of angst will be one of the con-testable points when his trial comes up.
With a world in his oyster, having started out with the painful journey of being born with a deformity and then subsequently beating that stigma and becoming a multimillionaire global icon and a role model for many physically challenged people, a billboard celeb — all that now lies in tatters.
Countless multinationals are now distancing themselves from the athlete, in terms of endorsements, this is one more case of stardom in the world of sports gone sour —joining the ranks of O.J. Simpson, Tiger Woods and cyclist Lance Armstrong.
