“Yes, Tom. There have been allegations that Robertson’s talent as a belcher isn’t all natural.”

“Accusations of performance enhancers?”

“Just so, Tom. Several athletes have given statements saying they’ve seen Robertson chugging A&W Root Beer in the locker room before events.”

“That’s a shame, Bob. Hopefully it’s just rumors. Always a tragedy to see a promising career cut short by poor decision-making.”

“You’re right about that Tom. Now let’s watch some belching!”
