| | Rediff On The NeT: "Sex on legs" is now the "ex" |
 | | Roger Black, pinup boy of English athletics, Olympic 400 metre silver medallist behind Michael Johnson, and captain of the English athletic team, retires after a final appearance at Sheffield, in the British Grand Prix, on Sunday. |
 | | Black was overlooked for the individual 400m at the upcoming European Championships in Budapest, after finishing fourth in the recent team trials. |
 | | Despite serious stress fracture that caused him to miss the 1988 Olympics (Black needed a screw inserted into his foot, and was on crutches for six months after the operation), he stormed back to take golds in the European Championships of 1990 in the 400 and the relay. |
