Things aren’t easy when one starts to get old, and looks like it’s hard to get used to it.

It's sad to see such a legend having to give up because of health problems, but i think he tooke the wise decision, his health and his life are much more important than any bracelet, Doyle has nothing to prove to anyone , everybody already recognize his great talent and career.
