I learned only yesterday that Brian Whipp died last month after a short illness. I did not know him personally, but I will never forget an inspirational debate he had with Tim Noakes at the 1999 ACSM conference on the topic of whether muscle hypoxia limits performance. From my report at http://www.sportsci.org/1999/2 : "The rhetoric was wonderful. Noakes, citing a personal communication from [email protected]: 'I believe Tim Noakes: he fits his theories to My facts.' Whipp, referring to Noakes by citing Voltaire on Descartes: 'He seems intent on excising the errors and replacing them with his own.'"
There is a memorial at http://brianjwhippmemorial.blogspot.com/ by one of his colleagues, Sue Ward.
