Ruenroeng's fight from prison to Olympics and back again

RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Amnat Ruenroeng speaks openly, even eagerly, about his years in a Thai prison.

His path out of poverty, crime and drug addiction began in a cell. He wants it to end in an Olympic ring with a medal around his neck, and he was willing to return from the pro ranks to try for that storybook ending again.

"There are some good parts of being in prison," Ruenroeng said through a translator. "You get discipline. You learn how to know what's right and what's wrong. In the prison, they provide education, and they have boxing, football and martial arts.
