He has played few events, spent months seeking treatment, and hopes to avoid surgery though he would consider it if needed. Trevino’s comeback success is noted as contrast.

Montreal councillor warns against costly 1984 Olympics
Montreal councillor Nick Auf der Maur, who oversaw the 1974 debate over Montreal's games, argues New York, Chicago and Los Angeles should avoid hosting unless IOC and federations cut demands. He recalls Montreal's overruns, noting a $24 million kayak course, a $70 million velodrome, and the need to add seats and adjust plans. He warns against bargain forecasts and cites Ravitch’s NY cost estimate of $426 million as unreliable.
