Personal life

Hailing from a footballing family, Ziadie's father was former Jamaican international Dennis Ziadie. His brothers Craig and Nick also represented Jamaica.[4]

While giving a speech at the Columbia University's athletic awards banquet in 1989, Ziadie caused uproar when he gave a speech offending a number of people. His speech was stopped mid-way through by athletic director Al Paul, after numerous people had already left the banquet in protest, and fencer David Mandell had thrown a chair on stage.[5]
