According to RJR News," IAAF (International Association of Athletics Federation) and CAC (Central American and Caribbean) Male Athlete of the Year, was unchallenged for the men's Trophy after producing a tremendous season which saw him winning 3 Olympic gold medals all in world record times in Beijing, China."
