Olympic rowing champion Andy Holmes MBE, who won gold and bronze medals with Sir Steve Redgrave in Seoul, has died in hospital shortly after his 51st birthday. Holmes was taken ill last Monday with what is highly suspected to be a case of the rare bacterial disease leptospirosis, also called Weil's disease. Leptospirosis can be caught through contact with river or lake water which contains the urine of infected animals and is notorious amongst watersports athletes. DailyMail |
