SUGAR RAY LEONARD CLAIMS THAT WHEN HE WAS A BOY . . . HIS MALE COACH RAPED HIM!! (SAD STORY)

learned that boxer Sugar Ray Leonard just wrote an autobiography, entitled The Big Fight: My Life In and Out of the Ring. In it he makes a SHOCKING CLAIM . . . that he was MOLESTED by a man.

Here's how the NY Times is reporting it:

He reveals publicly for the first time that he was sexually abused as a young fighter by an unnamed “prominent Olympic boxing coach.”

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.”


This kind of ish makes us SICK to our STOMACHS!!!
