Summary/Reflection
Alex Schwazer from Italy won the gold medal
for speed walking in the Olympics. He took a world record time and he was
joyful when he had finally finished the race and won first place. However, he
was caught using drugs to enhance his performance and ended up being banned. He
gave a lengthy, tear-filled press conference saying he was happy to have been
caught.
I think that
Alex is not a good person. He chose the wrong and decided to cheat and win the
race through other means instead of being fair. He knew what he had done and
like it said, he was happy he was caught because he was feeling so guilty of
what he had done and his conscious had been eaten up by his guilt. He is an
example of what can happen to you if you choose the wrong and don’t play by the
rules.
