I was the team doctor … so before we went over there I had to ask him if he
wanted to be on a ventilator … in case he went down during the games. He kept
saying, ‘Doc, I’m not going to need that because I’m going to get that gold medal
and then I’ll come home to rest.’
It was one of the most amazing things to be on that racecourse when he won and
sealed that gold medal victory for the US. When he got up on the medal stand it was
just an incredible feeling … just knowing the accomplishment … from beating his
disease long enough.
