Hello,
This is an FYI. On the night that Shani won the silver, NBC featured him with a mala around his neck. I binged to see if this was a story that was overlooked and found this item from a longer piece the NY Times did on him before the Olympics:

“Davis went on to declare his love for the Japanese candy Hi-Chews, which are similar to Starbursts, and the Buddhist temples he has visited during his extensive travels to Japan”

here is the link to the actual article: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/02/14/sports/olympics/14davis.html

I have not read another publications professing his religous beliefs. But if it comes out that he is….

and tying these together the Dalai Lama says who is Tiger Woods?
