Yes. Very sad.

The update says that it wasn't a heart attack after all. It was something
else, involving his breathing. (???)

Hello OBRA,
I've sat at home laughing the last few days about the Steve Larson controversy. We have eye witnesses in Bend seeing Steve Larson doing interval training this spring up a steep road named Summit and other reports telling us that he was yelling during a group ride because the others weren't going fast enough for his workout (he was on his Scott Time Trial bike at the time... you know the bike sponsor of his.)

Steve has a history in the past three years of sand bagging in Mt. bike, road and triathlons. He even took the Oregon Leaders jersey away from Evan Elken when he was an Amateur at Cascade Classic a few years back.

I personally don't know Steve Larson but, I have a lot of friends and acquaintances that think very negatively towards him.

I have attached an article announcing his retirement from professional racing in 2003 and also the results at an iron man qualifier that he did last year as an age grouper in which he won.

Here you go.
