?Forever Cheaters? – US Olympic Medalist Calls Out Houston Astros During MLB World Series 2021

This year, the Houston Astros reached the World Series for the third time in five seasons. While their fans cheer them on as they bid to win the Fall Classic, there are others who continue to make it clear that they stand against them.

Since they won their maiden World Series title in 2017, the Astros received a plethora of negative reactions from fans. In fact, they continue to receive them to this day, with hurdles specialist Rai Benjamin becoming the latest to criticize the AL Pennant winners.

Rai Benjamin shares a tweet criticizing the Houston Astros

Following their World Series win in 2017, many suspected the Astros cheated by stealing signs. When the MLB proved they engaged in such activities, the Astros fired few members of their staff. Although they took measures to limit the damage, fans still have their apprehensions about the Astros.

In a tweet, Benjamin, who hails from New York, made his feelings clear about this year’s AL Pennant winners. He wrote, “Idc (I don’t care) Astros are forever cheaters in my eyes.”

In the last three years, Benjamin enjoyed a meteoric rise as a specialist in the 400m category. The 24-year-old made his Olympic debut at the Tokyo Olympics earlier this year with many expecting him to win a medal. In a sensational race, Benjamin battled world champion Kasper Warholm for his maiden gold medal.

Although the American finished under Warholm’s world record time before the race, the Norwegian hurdler went even quicker to post a time of 45.94s, making him the first athlete to score a time under 46s.
