For those that do not remember
Won 110 Hurdles in London.

Thought career was over due to kidney disease after WC

Got a transplant 9 months ago

Doctors warning him not to go

I hope he does what's best for him. I wouldn't blame him if he skips Rio.

Trained all his life for this shite... if it were me it'd take death to stop me from competing. I hope he performs well and comes home zika free. Solid story, appreciate the share.

He is running in the first heat at 302 PDT and is in lane 7 for the prelims.

I forgot to add he is the WR holder at 12.80.

I believe he is the last major sprinter to break a WR. Nobody has broken one since 2012 in the major events.
