Default What happened to Brian Oldfield

I remember seeing him a number of years ago on various TV shows,
setting world records in shot-put, entering celebrity strongman
contests. One vivid memory was of him screaming for the use of a steel
measuring tape after one of his potentially world record throws.

Out of curiosity I looked and see he's now in a wheelchair, and
looking old for his years. Jeezus, this guy was a beast in his day.

Anyone know what happened to him? Arthritis? They don't address his
condition anywhere that I can find on his website.

Watching an interview from 2007 from his website, he sounds like he's
really laboring to speak. Emphysema?
