actually my lungs have rebuilt themselves since then .. took about 20 years though. 2nd hand smoke caused minor emphysema back then.John Howard, USA Olympic cyclist and an Ironman winner. He's way before your time. Your allergies suck ... but you already know that. Sorry about the bad luck.a former teammate was on Postal & Discovery with him ..You know Armstrong or Howard?yup .. that was the rumorYou rode professionally?
Howard who ?
I only raced pro for a year .. I had a lung problem which prevented me from racing in cold air. Well I could race, but my breathing was 30% of what it was normally ... So that didn't last long. same problem that prevented me from being a professional musician as back then everyone smoked at everything .. wedding,s bars, concerts et all. was allergic to smoke and other pollutants which gave me cold air asthma.
that howard. It's been a long time since I've actually kept track of anyone racing. He was a big name when I was just starting racing in the 70s.
nowadays I just like to ride and aggravate the young riders that some older guy they don't know can drop them at the blink of an eye, at least when I'm in shape.
