John Akii-Bua (3 December 1949 – 20 June 1997) was a Ugandan hurdler and the first Olympic champion from his country.
John was one of
43 children from the same father (but 8 mothers)
His old boy was a busy man then
Hope the CSA never caught up with him.

Yeah I thought it was deserving. Showed a lack of ambition on his parents' behalf although I did go to school with a lad called John John, although 30 years later it appears his first name was Edison...
