Just what I was thinking, though I bet not in the way you were. The Olympics have always had controls against athletes using performance-enhancing modifications. If this guy's performance was enhanced by his pet god - and I don't for one minute think it was - then he was cheating.
Interesting how he gives this god all the credit for his performance and training, yet when asked he says he doesn't believe that same god is sitting up there making him lose.
So I suppose this Ryan Hall romped to god-powered victory in London? Oh, that's right - he ran about ten miles and then had to drop out due to a hamstring injury; "something that affected him mildly during training, but he thought he had worked through". With a coach like that, he has no need of enemies.

We may? Great! "You are crazy!"

Unless of course you're desperate and the agony of starvation is one morsel of food away.

And now we get to the threats inside the kid-skin glove. Believe or be destroyed. All rather childish.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
