Just a little story I had never heard before. Apparently, the proud gold medalist ( he use to wear it to bed ) was denied service in a whites-only
restaurant two weeks after coming home from the Olympics. Disallusioned, he threw his gold medal into the river. Sad. Maybe some of ya'll already knew this, maybe you didn't.
Really? Link? Wow, Ali was a cool cat, but throwing away your gold medal....not cool. However, I understand why he threw it away and how it could have caused him many problems.
DLH gave his to Bob Arum, I think he returned it just recently..
Thats just a legend that was circulated, like George Washington chopping down his father's cherry tree.
Washington couldn't lie my ass, he probably fucked whores.
