This sucks for him... Is his wife pregnant? Can we just move the Olympics already.

If it is a dream of his then why would he decline?

Hayward is in prime child siring years. I'm guessing he has concluded that the risk of contracting the Zika virus is not worth it.

I don't blame him. Any legitimate risk of having a child with microcephaly is simply too high, even if it means giving up one one's Olympic dreams.

This. Props to Hayward for having the proper priorities.

This. Would be really easy to discount the chances and do it anyway. I feel awful for him he's worked hard for this and this may be his only shot.
 
This is a win-win. Hayward gets the league-wide recognition of being an Olympian, without actually going out there and playing games for Murikah.
