His name doesn't start with "F" does it? or----
Perhaps a relative of the Tubular one?

So good you said it twice- and I must confess I had the very same thought myself! Twice.

Well, and eventually someone's going to get hurt. The last time he pulled this kind of thing, he ran out on a speedway during an auto race in England. They showed footage, and it was a miracle that he wasn't hit and that none of the drivers wrecked. In the marathon, he could have easily permanently injured the runner and he almost certainly spoiled the ultimate outcome of the race.

The announcers were saying that he's not a political activist or anything like that...just insane. I would think his actions would be enough to get him committed...clearly he's a danger to himself and to others.

Yea, thats very true! It's a miracle he hasnt killed someone yet!

He is 57 years of age. He apologised for what he did at a court hearing in Athens which must b why he got off. He says that these protests are to promote his religious beliefs! As you all said he did the same at silverstone. He also protested at Wimbeldon and at cricket and rugby matches. Complete LooLah!!

Odd...the news here said he's 57 too, and he definitely looks closer to 57 than 47 (but then looks can be deceiving). Maybe he gives multiple ages too?

I feel sorry for the guy, 'cause he's obviously crazier than a loon, but I still think he needs to be locked up before he hurts or kills someone.

Or they can just do what they do with American schizophrenics and ship him to Santa Cruz! He'd feel so at home here among his fellows, he'd probably never want to leave! :lach:
