Original Toronto Star caption: World's fastest: In his racing wheelchair, Chris Stoddart is the man to beat. He's won gold medals four times, from 1974 to 1978. But the world champ says he may not compete in the 1981 Canada Games for the Physically Disabled because of the $250 entrance fee for competitors is ridiculous . . . Where are we supposed to get that kind of money?
