From UK Bike magazine in the early eighties & supposedly all true.
Fast Freddie Spencer would neither ride nor race if he was carrying an injury. It was due to his beliefs. He wore a knee protector down to a knife-edge in practice for a Moto GP and the sharp edge cut his leg quite badly below the knee. The works Honda team then announced that he would not ride in the race. Two of his competitors had a discussion that was overheard:
Rider 1 "Have you heard that Spencer won't be riding in the GP?"
Rider 2 "No. Why's that?"
Rider 1 "Beacause he's cut his knee."
Rider 2 "How did he do that? Shaving?"
