you could likely narrow it down to a small group by taking the time around when it happened and figuring out who all was working with Sugar Ray and who the official trainers were for events he went to.I don't.....but have the feeling it was some well-known trainer.Leonard mentioned that the same thing happened to some other boxers under his direction.
That's true, and I have a feeling some of his famous co-Olympians probably know, but won't say anything.Leon Spinks probably knows.you could likely narrow it down to a small group by taking the time around when it happened and figuring out who all was working with Sugar Ray and who the official trainers were for events he went to.
was he actually 19? if that's true than fuck Sugar Ray....he just felt regret that he let a dude wrap his lips around his cock....He was about 19 years old and already had a kid at the time of the car thing. How traumatic would that really be for a 19 year old? I mean if a guy tried to fondle you at 19 would you be 'haunted' by it for years or would you just tell him to fuck off and get over it?
The whole abuse thing just sounded like bollocks to sell his book.
Well, Larry Holmes said in his book that Howard was feeling him up, rubbing his hand up his leg, and Don King was looking and laughing, and Larry told him to get it off.Who knows what secrets Howard has.Howard cossell
A guy putting their mouth around another man's cock is a bit more than "just flirting". SRL could've lied about the situation but who knows.It was just a treat, wasn´t it ? No abuse happened, the guy just flirted with him, apparently......
OhA guy putting their mouth around another man's cock is a bit more than "just flirting". SRL could've lied about the situation but who knows.
That's the part I'm having trouble swallowing(I'm not gay lol). I'm thinking he let him do that but none of us can say accurately what happened except SRL, the trainer, and maybe a few other boxers of that trainer. Like, are you really gonna wait until and man sucks you off before running away? Can understand if he slept and woke up in the worse way imaginable but tbf I didnt see the excerpt.Don't know why he would want to lie about that [MENTION=2134]techks[/MENTION] . To be honest, if he was 19 or however old he was he should have beat the shit out of his trainer..
OhI didn´t know it was like that......well, yeah, it´s more than jus flirting..
"Before I knew it, he had unzipped my pants and put his hand, then mouth, on an area that has haunted me for life. I didn't scream. I didn't look at him. I just opened the door and ran."
Leonard writes that when the coach accompanied him as a 15-year-old and another young fighter to a boxing event in Utica, N.Y., in 1971, he had the teenagers take a bath in a tub of hot water and Epsom salts while he sat on the other side of the bathroom. They suspected “something a bit inappropriate” was occurring but did not want to question a strong male authority figure.
Several years later, Leonard describes sitting in a car in a deserted parking lot across from a recreation center, listening intently as the same coach, said to be in his late 40s, explained how much a gold medal at the 1976 Olympics would mean to his future.
He was flattered, filled with hope, as any young athlete would be. But he writes: “Before I knew it, he had unzipped my pants and put his hand, then mouth, on an area that has haunted me for life. I didn’t scream. I didn’t look at him. I just opened the door and ran.”

At age 18/19 you're 100% able to determine whether or not you want someone touching you sexually especially when you're a world class boxer. SRL claiming he was "molested" is an insult to actual children and victims. Lost respect for him with that.He was about 19 years old and already had a kid at the time of the car thing. How traumatic would that really be for a 19 year old? I mean if a guy tried to fondle you at 19 would you be 'haunted' by it for years or would you just tell him to fuck off and get over it?
