You were T & F for Florida? Are you old enough to remember Gerry Fanning? Hurdles? or Robert Cade?
I do T&F now, as a Masters competitor.(200m & 400m)
I do not know the men you speak of.
Sorry for the confusion.
Robert Cade was a nephrologist at the University of Florida who invented Gator-Ade. He used the track and field guys to develop his Gator-Ade formula - probably because the university thought the football players were too valuable? Apparently it was much better than the old salt tablets. They finally allowed the football team to take it during a big game against Georgia. It was very hot the day of the game and Florida played very well. The Georgia coach claimed the reason they lost was because of the Gator-Ade.
