@Big10p,
What he was annoyed about, was the whole thing wereby he "Bacame" white in peoples minds because he was winning. The speccy decathalon thing was just an extention of that problem.
(For Overseas people, Daily Thompson, was one of the greatest athletes the UK has ever produced. And he was a "Nearly" White, black man. He was so everyones hero for about 10 years. And all those places/people who would have nothing to do with blacks, suddenly decided that he wasnt black. [In the same way Hitler declareed his Doctor not really Jewish])
