Walker - Olympic Champion, Athens, Greece, 2004

About the Book

Jack Galloway, an award-winning sports writer and sports editor, has for 45 years maintained the secrets of athlete-scientist, Walker, who has discovered methods of prolonging life and maximising the body's physical capabilities so as to perform gigantic feats of athletic performance.

To save the sport of athletics, Jack's swansong before retirement as Sports Editor of The Telegraph is to use the paper's resources to mount a campaign against drug abuse by persuading his lifelong friend to enter the Athens games in six events. An intense training schedule supervised by master coach, Cassius, brings Walker to the peak of human condition in time for mid-August in Athens. On the greatest stage in the world, in the finest arena on the planet, Walker demonstrates to the world in a dramatic climax that records are within the grasp of mankind, without cheating. His winning total of six gold medals he hopes will be enough to end the endemic drug culture that threatens the existence of the sport.
