I love coming across stuff like this.If you have diabetes, or know someone who does, you may have heard the term PAD - Peripheral Artery Disease. This blocks the blood supply to major arteries; often affecting the legs and feet. This can cause anything from ulcers to gangrene (leading to amputation). Nasty stuff.A new procedure may help change all that.Developed at Sydney's Royal North Shore Hospital, the process essentially works by isolating the effected limb and rapidly pumping blood to it. This tricks the body into growing new blood vessels.According to Dr Rodney Lane - the man behind the new procedure :The arteries are performing at the level of an Olympic athlete, running at pace, when the patient is lying in bed.Beautiful.
Who is the man in this photo?Hints:His nicknames were "White Lightning" then "El Caballo (The Horse)."He was born December 3, 1950 in Santiago, Cuba.He is now an IAAF Council Member.He was a basketball player until he as 21, at which time he was discovered by Polish track coach Zygmunt Zabierzowski.He was eliminated in the semi-finals at the 1972 Munch Olympics.Give up?He is none other than Alberto Juantorena, the first only athlete to win gold medals in both the 400m and 800m at the same Olympics, the 1976 Montreal Olympics. In the photo above he was doing some early shopping for 2007 Osaka souvenirs.

Here's the video of that classic race as well as the men's 1500m final.
