Imani Barbarin gets right to the heart of the issue of Olympians competing while Covid positive:
“Once again this is a story of Americans celebrating someone overcoming a systemic failure - Covid IS a systemic failure from the top down.”
Couldn’t agree more. This is not an inspirational moment. His life & career were put at risk when he raced. The health of other athletes, medics, volunteers etc was also put at risk.
Normalize resting when sick!
