Sir, - I, as everybody else, have great sympathy with Sonia O'Sullivan after her performance at the Olympic Games. I believe, however, that her disappointing show was partly due to the stress caused in the gear war between ABLE (Asics) and the OCI (Reebok).
I also think that if Sonia were allowed wear her preferred Reebok kit from the beginning, her mental preparation would shave been more focused and as a result her performance would have been better. I now propose that unless Bord Luthchleas Eireann and Asics make a full apology to her, there should be a nationwide boycott of all Asics products. - Yours, etc.,
