The handcuffs mock at past glory.
The athlete is a gold-medallist in international sports, and has broken records of time taken to cover a certain distance.
Fond of sight-seeing, he scans every illustrious corner of the countries he visits and makes new friends.
Probably, he got carried away by success, or he loved and trusted the wrong people. He believed in having a good time, and making the most of every moment. Media reports show him as a person truly in love with life.
He is arrested in possession of drugs which contravene the laws of the country he visited,

One mistake and glory is gone. Sad, bitter truth. Still they repeat it.
