		That was the year he ran for Wits University and wore a fl armband in protest against the race being run on May 31 to fall in line with the government's 20-year celebrations of the Republic.

		Durban - Bruce Fordyce, nine-time Comrades Marathon winner, was once described by sports science expert Tim Noakes as "a vision of athletic perfection that is unlikely to be equalled".
		The Scot who was famously pipped to the post the year after by Manie Kuhn, also called Bruce a "running genius", though "the blonde bullet" always preferred the up run to the down run.
		Fordyce, whose domination of the eighties was absolute and is arguably the one person who most contributed to the burgeoning appeal of Comrades at the time, showed his humorous side when asked what decrees the Comrades Marathon Association could introduce to the race.
