He looks fit in the few pics provided?

Gay, a history of drug use and you know he had AT LEAST one clot shot......boy, talk about playing Russian roulette with a half loaded gun........sheesh.

Suddenly.
Unexpectedly.
He would have needed to be vaxxed in order to be able to compete.

I think post 2 is sarcasm my friend

[Jonty30]

You think he ate the pole?

7 News reported that in 2016, Barber made headlines after failing a drug test when traces of cocaine were found in his system before the Rio Olympics.

There may be a hint in there somewhere. He was also a fudge packer.

Apparently ‘vaulting’ wasn’t the only thing he did with poles....................

Another Fauxi lab rat.

That was dark humor, he’s obviously fit.
I assume he OD’d or committed suicide.

Being world champion at anything requires ridiculous commitment.
When the glory is over, these people have adjustment problems often.

It’s hard to be World Champion and then cubicle Excel clicker….

No comment… :)

If only he was in better shape...

[Red Badger]

He was a heavy smoker....................................of poles........................

Pole Vaulters often die suddenly. It’s the risk of the sport.
(my attempt to imitate the vaccine shills)

[Red Badger]

If only he had been boosted by a longer pole....................

[ConservativeMind]

At least he died “gay and proud.”
