LOST HIS MEDAL
He lost his silver medal from the 2004 Olympic Games for two days in a taxi. "I was sitting in a restaurant and discovered that I had lost my medal. I decided to tell nobody about it and went to the police on my own. I told them about the fact that I had lost my medal in a yellow taxi. They made an inquiry notice and after two days I got my medal back again." (sportgeschiedenis.nl, 23 Aug 2008)
