Graham John May (1952 – 23 December 2006) was a weightlifting competitor for New Zealand.
He won the gold medal at the
Wide World of Sports
for 20 years and is seen as iconic footage of New Zealand sport.
After a short career he stopped weightlifting in 1975 and followed
steroids in the years leading up to his gold medal performance, although they were not illegal at the time. He offered to hand back his medal but it was declined.[3]
