Madame Celeste Amarilla,
Vous êtes une femme méprisable et indigne de sa fonction.
Vous ne représentez pas le Paraguay, ce pays qui a transpiré la passion et l’honneur tout au long de la compétition. Par votre inconscience et votre racisme décomplexé, le monde entier a déjà oublié le parcours et l’effort historique que vos joueurs ont réalisés durant cette coupe du monde pour laisser place à une dame incompétente donnant la pire image possible de son pays.
Je ne laisserai jamais aux gens comme elle, la liberté de laisser propager leur haine et leur racisme à travers le monde.

In the next 3 years, Usain Bolt’s world record of 9.58 will turn 20. There is not a sprinter today, clean or unclean, who will break that record. First of all, the men aren’t running consistent 9.7s. In fact, the last time a man ran 9.6 was 14 years ago; what makes y’all think Bolt’s record is in reach?

After Vanderbilt had his British passport denied in the 80s he had to move to St Lucia. But then in 2001 he was granted a UK passport for 6-months only.
In order to extend it, he was asked to prove he was British by locating his Scottish grandad’s 129-year-old birth certificate
