Default Due To Possible Blackmail : Gareth Thomas declares he has HIV

"He revealed that afterwards he was
'threatened by people who said they
would give away my secret',
who he feared would 'use it as a weapon'
against him and his family."
From DM

["The 45-year-old became the first
UK sportsman to disclose he has
the virus during an interview with
the Sunday Mirror - before revealing
in a video on his Twitter page that he
had been "forced" to make the admission.
"I've been threatened by people who said
they would give away my secret.
It's sick and I've been through hell," he told the paper.
"I was being blackmailed and in my mind I
thought you only get
blackmailed for something really bad,
which compounded the feeling of shame."]
