In this work we develop a discrete model of competing species affected by a common parasite. We analyze the influence of the fast development of the shared disease on the community dynamics. The model is presented under the form of a two time scales discrete system with four variables. Thus, it becomes analytically tractable with the help of the appropriate reduction method. The 2-dimensional reduced system, that has the same asymptotic behaviour as the full model, is a generalization of the Leslie-Gower competition model. It has the unfrequent property in this kind of models of including multiple equilibrium attractors of mixed type. The analysis of the reduced system shows that parasites can completely alter the outcome of competition depending on the parasite's basic reproductive number $R_0$. In some cases, initial conditions decide among several exclusion or coexistence scenarios.
