    I'm getting a little tired of the coverage it's getting, but I guess what justifies it in the minds of those that dictate what is and isn't newsworthy is that the accused is relatively famous. Remember the fuss about OJ Simpson?

    I doubt many people had even heard of him or know who he was until this story broke, I certainly didnt and to be honest I dont really care.

    I remember him from last year's Olympics. Before then I had never heard of him.
