      ...there was also this -
      he was even more impressive in the relay. After some poor baton passing, the Americans trailed the French team by five metres.

      Then Hayes took over, producing one of the most spectacular comeback runs in Olympic history to take the gold medal with a margin of three metres over Poland's Marian Dudziak, setting a new world record in the process.

      The coach of that triumphant team, Bob Giegenback timed Hayes as soon as he began racing.

      According to his watch, he crossed the line in an unprecedented 8.5 sec. This was supported by many observers - in any case, the slowest official time for his leg was 8.9 sec.

            Apparently he is the only man to win an Olympic Gold and a SuperBowl ring , and will probably be the only man to ever do it.

            He had a lot of problems with drugs after his sports careers ended and never got the recognition he deserved. In the current era he would be a millionaire superstar in either T&F or the NFL .
