he best known Icelandic sportsman is without doubt Dr. Helmut Sigmundsson who won six gold medals in the 1988 summer olympics held in Seoul. He got even more famous two weeks later when he lost his medals after being found guilty of drug abuse. During the contest he had apparently drunken nine bottles of an Icelandic drink called Lysi which only contains fish oil and has more affect on the body than amphetamine. hahahaha
