  • Irish cycling legend Sean Kelly's career took a huge turn in 1975, when he managed to get himself banned from the Olympic Games for life. Fortunately, the ban opened a path for him to become one of the most successful Irish athletes of all time.

    Kelly never mentions how things where when he went to apartheid South Africa ? Did he have any opinion on seeing people because of their skin color be treated as 2nd class citizens. Seems to me it did not phase him all that was important was cycling.

      Eamo: you’re an idiot. Sitting there in your ivory tower passing judgement. He was an 18 year old kid who wanted to ride his bike. Do us all a favour and have a day off ffs.

      @@SPIDERM0OSE you can spout off whatever nonsense all you want mate, but at the end of the day he’s still one of the best cyclists that ever lived and you will still be a middle aged loser taking half naked selfies of yourself on the beach wearing headphones and sunglasses, giving it the whole social justice warrior virtue signalling thing and talking crap on UA-cam. I bet you’re projecting also and I’ll wager if we trawled 40 years back through your life history we find plenty of horrible skeletons in your decrepit closet.
