And then I kick their ass.

Marlon ShirleyAwesome interview with the US athlete Marlon Shirley on Radio 4 this evening. (45 mins, RealPlayer.)

'I've always been very apprehensive about people calling me a disabled athlete… We all have our own disabilities… some people's disabilities may be alcohol, may be drugs, may be steroids, may be personal or mental issues. Mine happens to be a foot. Now, when I go to able-bodied races, you can imagine what people think when they see me, like y'know 'that's good for you'. And then I kick their ass.'
