Sir Chris Hoy

[Day]

Olympic legend Sir Chris Hoy says he has terminal cancer and "two to four years" to live. 

Sir Chris, 48, revealed earlier this year he was being treated for an unspecified type of cancer and was "optimistic, positive and surrounded by love".

However, the former track cyclist announced in an interview with The Times that his cancer - which was diagnosed as prostate cancer - was terminal - and that he had "known this for over a year".

His wife has been diagnosed with aggressive multiple sclerosis too and they have a young family.

You think some people "have it all" until they haven't.

It's terrible news isn't it. I really feel for his kids. Do t know how you cope as a family with that.

And I am furious for him and his wife at whatever newspaper thought it was Ok to out him publicly. If he wants to keep it private that's his decision. There are little kids involved.

Remarkably, he's still commentating. I watched the track cycling world championships last night there he was, positive as ever and he'll be doing the final races tonight. The man is superhuman and this is obviously very sad news, but he'll go on his terms and I suppose the first part of that was not hiding it. Huge respect.

You missed the bit where he said his hand was forced because an unnamed newspaper were going to put him 😟
