Running concern

Article Abstract:

New Zealander Jonah Lomu is the highest paid player in rugby union, but kidney disease, divorce, and his business threaten to end his career. At the start of the 1999 season he reported to a fitness-testing camp too overweight to pass the running test and was dropped from the team. His agent and business partner, Phil Kingsley-Jones, has cleared Lomu's schedule to concentrate on rugby.
