In what many have cited as a publicity stunt to try and garner a lucritive endorsment deal, the American olympist known as Raul who has been training with the chinese, rode a bull down the streets of Pampalona, Spain. Raul, who was in Spain on vacation, said he had always dreamed of seeing the famous running of the bulls. "At first I was just watching them go by, when some retard in a pink helmet threw me out into the street. I reacted quickly using my gymnastic skills to do a double summersault over one bull then I vaulted over its horns and did a handstand on its nose." The spectacle was cheered by throngs of onlookers who applauded Raul and the retard as they ran down the street. "He (the retard) was keeping pretty good pace with me but he slipped in some caca and from what I understand was trampled pretty badly, but preliminary reports indicate that he may be able to walk again by December."
