After Dinner Speakers: Chris Boardman, A-Ha, The Red Hot Chilli Peppers

Chris Boardman has revealed that a debilitating medical condition has disrupted his preparations over the past two years for the men's individual time trial in Sydney. Boardman, who won gold for Britain at the Barcelona Games in 1992 and then bronze in Atlanta, was diagnosed for an illness similar to osteoporosis (a brittle bone disease) in 1998. It was my decision to carry on two years ago, but if I continue I could have serious heart problems in later life," said Boardman. Boardman added that as much as it would hurt him to leave a sport which has provided so much success for him he knows it would be in his best interests to quit while he is still able to compete at the highest level.
