Retired Welsh rugby star Gareth Thomas came out as a proud gay man in 2009, but he says he’s been “living with this secret for years … and keeping such a big secret has taken its toll.” After a tabloid newspaper threatened to reveal his status, Thomas announced that he’s HIV positive.


The very next day he successfully completed the grueling 140-mile Triathlon to prove that he’s more than physically fit. The “photo finish” splashed across many news sites as he completed a 26.2 mile marathon shows him running into husband Stephen’s embrace.
