Wow!!!..
RIP.
Excellent 400m runner.
I remembered him well especially because he moved to the second lane (when setting the 4x400m WR) when moving around the last curve into the home straight. It looked to me as he was too fast to run on the first lane 
Noooo! Are you serious! He’s ONLY 42
Yeah well I suspect that age wasn’t a factor in his death. Regardless, it’s a shame and my sympathy goes out to his family.
i absolutley detest the fact that nearly all the media headline the fact that he was caught doping…so what big deal!
the fact is the poor guy is dead period.
RIP
Disgraced sprinter…dead
