Thread Name: BS: Gold Medals are silver
Subject: RE: BS: Gold Medals are silver
Muhammad Ali wrote in his autobiographhy how on his return to the USA after winning gold at the olympics he was brought back down to earth when he was chased by white bikers in a motorbike race at the end of which he noticed that his medal, which they wanted to take from him, was fake.

In disgust he threw it away.

But even worse, he discovered that his world title belts were made of plastic.
