Greg Louganis

Going back to the 1980's and 1990's where Greg Louganis took place in the Seoul Olympics. His experience there was a very special one. At the time he was talking part of the high diving event where he had suffered a concussion when he hit his head on the springboard. This did not prevent him from completing the rest of his event trials. Making it to the finals with the most points in the qualifier he was able to win the gold medal. Why is this special? What's special about this is that Greg at the time was HIV positive. Despite knowing that he had HIV and had suffered a concussion that when he dove blood would go into the pool. He not only risked his life, but as well the lives of other divers. Well this is what they would have said back then. The truth is that his blood did not have any chance in infecting the other divers since the gallons of water with chlorine killed the HIV before it made contact with any other diver and the only possible way it can really cause infection on people is if HIV has a way into the body. Which the human skin prevented it from getting into the body. On 1995 Greg announced that he was HIV positive making most of his sponsors leave except for old trusty Speedo. People would also hate him even more as he also announced that he was gay.
