Turns out Jana Pitman decided not to be a part of the Queen's Baton relay this afternoon in the city for the Commonwealth Games which starts tomorrow night. Reason cited was the persistent hamstring injury. Oh yeh, I forgot that, and I quote 'She'll be 100 per cent when she steps out on the track in the competition [next week]'.
Do you know what would be really refreshing for once? Honesty. Why can't her manager just say 'We know Jana is having issues with both the public and the press, partly unfairly but mainly due to the fact she is a whinger and has just recently said she doesn't want to run for our country anymore. As a result we feel she may not receive a warm and friendly welcome from the public (who can blame them really) and also feel her safety may even be at risk. To avoid the possible embarrassment she has decided to stay home.'
What would it hurt to be honest? NOBODY is really going to believe after everything that has gone on in the last week that she really has a hammy issue. Usually when it smells like poo, it's because it IS poo...
