This time it's not an athlete but an arbitrator, an arbitrator of rugby.Nigel Owens, the Welsh referee, said his own experience, including his homosexuality, finally revealed, in an autobiographical book. Raised in Mynyddcerrig in Carmarthenshire has made its debut in the Rugby World Cup last year and is the first openly gay judge, at least at high level.

"I told myself that this might help someone, I would not want anyone else to go through what I went through these years." 
In the book Owen also spoke of his suicide attempt and how difficult it was for him to accept his homosexuality: "In reality, say three simple words:" I am gay "was the hardest thing I've ever done. "
