Sir Roger Bannister has passed

[dudog84]

Sir Roger Bannister, who broke the unbreakable barrier of 4 minutes in the mile, has died at 88.

The mile record had stood for about 9 years in 1954...and then Sir Roger's record lasted less than 2 months.

He was knighted for his medical work, not his athletic feat (feet?). Among other things, he developed the first test for anabolic steroids.

Must have been quite a man.

R.I.P.

There were physicians at the time who were confident that it was physically impossible for a human to run a mile in under four minutes.
Maybe it's because they were bleeding their patients too much?
