The impostor was Norbert Sudhaus, a college student, and he did it for a gag, nothing political. I think he is a teacher at the university now.

Geez, security sure sucked in Munich if this guy was able to slip in the stadium. You'd think the murder of the Israeli athletes earlier in the Games would have beefed up security but apparently not.

Cute story - I remember this but thought it was kind of cheesy when Segal yelled that - like Shorter could hear him!
Who ever said it, ... ( 3 months ago by pellebravesskylar)
Who ever said it, it was highly unlikely Shorter could hear him. I was just a little kid when this happened and even I thought it was kind of a silly remark, given that Shorter was in front of thousands of screaming fans and the ABC crew wasn't in earshot.
Shorter won silver ... ( 3 months ago by pellebravesskylar)
Shorter won silver in 1976 and Joan Benoit won the inaugeral women's gold medal in 1984. Other than a bronze medal in 2004, it's been kind of a dry run for the Yanks.
How was he cheated? ... ( 3 months ago by pellebravesskylar)
How was he cheated? I thought that the rainy weather in Montreal hampered him. Was Waldemar Cierpinski ever involved in any doping allegations? I know Cierpinski was East German but never heard of any drug implications for the East German men (that seemed to involved exclusively the women's teams). Any info you can provide would be interesting.
This is from the ... ( 3 months ago by 1981aLaN)
This is from the 2008 edition of The Complete Book Of The Olympics:
"After the fall of the Iron Curtain, documents began to surface proving widespread drug use among East German athletes. In 1997, Shorter, convinced that Cierpinski had taken prohibited drugs, wrote to Dr Werner Franke, the German scientist who helped uncover the file. Franke provided Shorter with evidence that Cierpinski had indeed been taking steroids.
(cont) Shorter, a ... ( 3 months ago by 1981aLaN)
(cont) Shorter, a lawyer, began to push to have the East German results, including Cierpinski's, overturned. Although unsuccessful, Shorter continued the fight against performance-enhancing drugs, serving as the chairman of the US Anti-Doping Agency from 2000 to 2003."
Although not a ... ( 3 months ago by zenmachinefilms)
Although not a great book, Faust's Gold goes into some detail on the East German doping machine and looks into some of the records that Dr. Franke uncovered. Though there isn't a direct line with Cierpinski's name and listed drugs next to it, when Franke deciphered the coding books, it seemed quite apparent that Cierpinski had blood doped, and used small amounts of steroids at the time.
Thanks for this ... ( 3 months ago by pellebravesskylar)
Thanks for this information. It really does make sense given that Cierpinksi was a former steeplechaser who entered his first marathon "on a whim" in 1974. And it really sucks that Cierpinksi won again in 1980 - the only person besides Abebe Bikila to win 2 Olympic marathons. What an insult to the memory of Bikila who died so tragically young. I wonder who on the East German team wasn't taking drugs back then - the gymnasts perhaps? Thanks ago for this very interesting info.

Ross McWhirter was alive
Until A.D. One-Nine-Seven-Five,
When, upon a winter's day,
His face was shot by the I.R.A.
Our Norris, meanwhile, he but thrived,
As if he'd taken on new life;
Kids had he and married, twice.
He was right-wing, but seemed quite nice.
A life much blessed, so we would wish,
He dropped stone dead playing lawn tennis(h).
