Kuala Lumpur is currently hosting the World Junior Diving Championships at the Bt Jalil Aquatic Centre, and there was a column in the Star, if I'm not mistaken which mentioned some teenage diver who cited THE LATE Greg Louganis (US diver who won 4 gold and 1 silver in the Olympic Games history from 1976-1988 and some years later claimed and confessed his gay lifestyle and being HIV+) - BUT, Wikipedia and Google searches still proves that Greg L is still alive..........HOW COULD THIS KIND OF BLUNDER HAVE HAPPENED? IF SO, THE STAR COULD BE IN DEEP SHIT UNLESS A PRINTED APOLOGY IS NOTED.....either black and white OR online for public viewing..........think that another famous victim, ex-cager Earvin "Magic" Johnson has passed on as some rumours have claimed? Nah......! Keep track on Yahoo news AT LEAST - that's the most reliable source online thus far...........

Is the reporter just blindly quoting the teenage diver, without doing any research on his own?
Maybe the teenage diver doesn't know what THE LATE means...:unsure:
