Younger SRY was a "rash" and competitive youth, and to be the best is his passion, as a full time athlete, he has to find other means to support himself, plus a future of himself, and someone whom he can also share his passion with. Tough to be challenged by so many "negatives" which have yet to be proven to be "true". Need to defend oneself with financial means to "win" only in High Courts, not in Races. So far, SA has to pay for the damages from the High Court. SRY vs SA - 1 : 0 next vs Ashley Liew, SNOC, RunOne... beyond 2020?
