He added: “It can Your name is teased on programs and social media is happy about it, but in reality, this is just a reflection of your superficial mentality and your empty mind.”

He continued: “What may seem to you as applause on social media is met with applause.” In fact, there are looks of contempt from many outside it. Sport, in its essence, is based on fair competition on the field and mutual respect off it.”

He continued: "I know that life after retirement and being away from the spotlight is painful, but please, if you want to return to work or to be remembered, try to find a more respectful way."

He concluded: “People like you are supposed to be the sporting elite, role models for the masses, not the other way around.”
