your twin brother Zayn and his doping
00:00:02
ban in 2023. I had him on the podcast. I
00:00:05
think it was um like an international
00:00:06
exclusive at the time.
00:00:08
>> Zayn Robertson. So, it's less than 24
00:00:10
hours here in New Zealand since the news
00:00:11
came out. Kiwi Olympian and national
00:00:13
distance running record holder Zayn
00:00:14
Robertson has been banned for 8 years
00:00:16
for doping.
00:00:17
>> I've been a twin my life. I understood
00:00:19
anything that one of us would do, we
00:00:22
always get the blame. I'd been offered a
00:00:24
huge Puma contract. The next day, I'm
00:00:26
getting a call from my agent, and he's
00:00:28
telling me Pummer have retracted their
00:00:31
offer, and this was a 4-year deal,
00:00:33
enough money for me and my family to be
00:00:35
comfortable. And uh
00:00:40
then, you know, then, of course, I'm
00:00:43
also thinking about my brother and
00:00:45
family's family, man. You know, I'm not
00:00:46
going to speak to Zayn about me and my
00:00:49
worries, what this is doing to me right
00:00:51
now, cuz he he knows. My instant
00:00:54
reaction for him was to just try and
00:00:55
comfort him, get him through this
00:00:57
because I've seen Kenyan athletes try
00:00:59
and commit suicide after such news hit
00:01:01
them. It's it's not uncommon. This is
00:01:03
our life. My main concern was my
00:01:05
brother's
