Hardly does a year pass by without a major sporting scandal bordering on cheating in a major sporting discipline by a world renowned athlete, team or even nation. The latest to rock the year 2013 came from the International Athletics Association Federation (IAAF) involving a number of elite athletes including all time greats in sprint like Jamaica’s Asafa Powell and USA’s Tyson Gay, the man who had come close to threatening the reign of the “living legend” Usain Bolt.

Imagine you are watching a program on your television set and the pictures begin to blur. Then all of a sudden the screen goes blind and you soon realize there is no available channel.

Agreed that President Siaka Stevens was the founding father of the A.P.C. and the man who championed a lot of infrastructural development in Sierra Leone. The man who shared wealth with most of his family members and friends including his drivers, cleaners, cooks, security guards, etc. All enjoyed the acquisition of wealth.

However, he still had his demerits as a dictator who would accuse anyone critical of him of treason, and whose elimination could be manipulated to bring about their demise.

We will always have people to admire, respect and appreciate for what they are able to do in their various endeavours of life to promote the general good, sometimes at the expense of their livelihood, and family, and indeed against very big odds. For their bravery, selflessness, and resilience, others will have the chance to live and be.
