I remember a cyclist from Estonia by the name of Jannus Kuum. He defected from the Soviet Union (Estonia) back in the mid 80's and rode professionally in the USA for Schwinn/Icy Hot. I recently read an article that referred to him as being deceased. Is this true? Anyone know what happened to him? I remember him as being an incredibly strong and talented rider. I was saddened to hear he was gone. No need for a big argument. Just a simple "Here's what happened" will be greatly appreciated. -Patrick Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy. JAANUS KUUM did NOT commit suicide. He was killed in Oslo Norway in a car crash with 3 others. He died 26th August 1996. I am introduced him to his wife Maria, mother of Elliott Porter, Jaanus's son, also a professional. Jaanus was attacked several times with physical injury by the KGB in the years following his defection. No one can find out the details of this accident, not even his own brother, for that reason there is speculation that it was caused because he defected in 1984-85. John Pierce Bristol UK.
