Anyone who spends so much time petencrifg anything is a hard bargain for a married partner. This means anyone not just athletes. To be really good you have to believe in yourself when others won't and you have to give enormous time to your gig. I have met VERY few well adjusted or even well rounded top-of-their-game type men or women. It is heartbreaking that his children are involved and that his wife has to be alone at this crucial time but without a doubt he is surely struggling too. This is not a sound byte situation any more than another person's infidelity would be.As for the blonde. She knew he was married but at 23 it is doubtful she really understands what that means. No excuses clearly he is all the superficial things gorgeous, wealthy, bright and generous. But now they will all have to figure out the realities of such a betrayal. Sadly, with the Internet, this will always be out there' and that will be hardest for the kids.
