2.1 Vegan athleters or world class vegetarian athletes without decent internet proof
1. Andreas Cahling? Professional Bodybuilder
http://www.gotohealth.com/athletes/view_athlete.cfm?id=23
Is this good enough proof for Cahling? I say no, because they also list Hank Aaron and Larry Bird. But I have also heard Cahling called vegetarian over and over again by people. Just not good online stuff.
2. Jim Morris- world class bodybuilder - won the Grand masters Mr Olympia title while vegan, but there is some doubt as to whether he's still vegan (it appears it was for health, not ethical reasons to help overcome joint problems).
(I can’t find a link confirming this.)
3. Craig Heath?- Professional figure skater
http://www.craigheath.com/profile.htm
(Don’t have specific link that he’s vegan but haven’t looked very hard.)
4. Charlene Wong Williams?- Professional figure skater
http://www.geocities.com/gpembroke/Wong.html
(Vegetarian, vegan?)
5. Ben Mathews?- Marathon runner
(Can’t find anything at all on the internet.)
6. Kim Wurzel- Synchronised swimmer
(Can’t find link indicating veganism.)
7. Dana Rosenblatt- World Class Professional Boxer
http://www.cmmol.net/dana_rosenblatt.htm
No internet links indicate it, but during Rosenblatt’s first 20 or so fights, all of which he won and many of which were televised in the US, he was definitely a vegetarian. He started eating meat when he fought Vinny Pazienza and coincidentally that was his first loss although he looked more defined for that fight.
8. Tiffany Croker??

9. Brian Rowley??

10. Chris Campbell Olympic Wrestler
http://www.soystache.com/famousaz.htm
11. Peter Brock- Race Car Driver
here he is vegan
http://www.animal-lib.org.au/interviews/brocky/
and here he isn't
