Well his job is speaking about diversity issues.
So that’s like saying the Pope is making a profession out of being Catholic...
It’s funny though, because I could have sworn you just spoke about the gutter press on another tread, and yet he’s attention seeking when he’s going to be exposed by the same press.
What’s the difference I wonder? |
Wouldn't surprise anyone if he'd orchestrated the proposed press exposure, knowing he could beat them to it.
He's an expert now in manipulation. |  | |  |

What’s the full story on him being exposed then?
As I’ve said there’s a documentary on tomorrow night about him having HIV which clearly hasn’t been made in a couple of days so the tabloids would obviously have been sent the telly listings so something doesn’t sound right about this exposé. |  |

Have to agree. Crocodile tears at the iron man too. Surprisingly all caught on camera
He’s a master at media manipulation and self promotion. Apart from that time on Srum V with Butler of course lol. |  |

As somebody who has made a good career out of being a professional sportsman at International level, he has let himself down here. He should know much better than average joe how to look after his body and mitigate the risks involved with his lifestyle and preferences.
To hold him up now as some sort of posterboy is a bit crass imo. He has let himself down and should not be some sort of role model. Absolute sympathy for his position and i hope he goes on to be 100% fine, but lets not get it twisted, he royally fcked up here and only has himself to blame. |  |

The timeline on this isn’t working for me.
Unless the BBC have made tonight’s documentary in four days something’s not making sense.
Are you telling me he was making a documentary with the BBC about having HIV and he hadn’t told his parents?

Which is my point Philip so it’s strange how he publicly announces it the night before Ironman and a few days before the documentary is aired isn’t it? | |

One might draw the conclusion he was a relentless self-publicising, attention-seeking (not to mention narcissistic - oh look me and hubby in the bath...) chap if one was a tad cynical. | | | |

I think that's exactly what many of us have suspected. This isn't a genuine moment but a manufactured publicity stunt.
Lets be honest, the blackmail thing, he is who he is. If it was myself who had a HIV diagnosis nobody outside of my friends and family would be interested or in any way bothered. If a journo discoverd the story he/she/they was/were obviously going to do some digging. Then there's the "I wasn't going to tell anybody" claim, no he wasn't, until the tv documentary and until some journo doing their job stole his thunder.
Maybe I'm just too cynical. | |

Blackmail? The only people who would know would be his doctor and his partner.
I’m assuming that neither of the above would be publicising it down the pub. [Post edited 18 Sep 2019 13:21]

According to the internet, there's roughly 9 complex steps involved in creating a documentary. There's no way in hell that one could be created in 4 days. So yes, he's known about his diagnosis for quite a while, has gone to the BBC about it and suggested the idea, and has timed telling the public a few days before he runs a marathon, about a week before the rugby world cup, and less than a week before his documentary is broadcast. And he made the "I can never have that moment back" comment, yet the documentary is going to air very soon and he hadn't told his parents anyway. [Post edited 18 Sep 2019 14:42]

He would have to I inform the other chums he had slept  with recently. |
If he hasn’t told them I assume it will be quite the shock when they turn on the documentary as they’re eating their crispy chicken dippers. |  |
