A gold-medal-winning Olympic show jumper from Canada has been accused of faking brain cancer to avoid a court showdown over accusations he got rich by selling unfit horses.Eric Lamaze, 55, was facing numerous lawsuits when he first announced in 2019 that he was battling glioblastoma, an aggressive, rare cancer, according to HorseSport. In July, his then-attorney filed legal papers claiming that Lamaze’s cancer had “spread to his throat” — and that he would need a “high-risk” craniotomy, temporarily removing part of his skull and leaving him unable to speak “quite possibly on a permanent basis,” the report said.However, documents submitted as proof were soon proven to be forgeries — in part because they were written in Dutch, a language the named specialist doesn’t speak.Even Lamaze’s attorney, Tim Danson — who has known him for 30 years — then jumped ship, leaving with a damning statement in his final appearance with him in Ontario Superior Court earlier this month, the report said. “Eric is very sick, but maybe not with cancer,” Danson was quoted as saying. Justice Marvin Kurz ruled earlier this month that Lamaze — who won gold in Beijing in 2008 after earlier disqualifications for cocaine use — “feigned end-stage cancer” to avoid a “day of reckoning” in the lawsuit.
