FORMER Olympic champion Eric Lamaze maintains he has had cancer, and has few years left to live, after a judge questioned his claims.
Justice Marvin Kurz published endorsements, on 14 August and 5 September, in a case involving Iron Horse Farm and Torrey Pines Stable, the home of Eric, and Eric. Iron Horse brought two breach-ofcontract actions, now joined to be tried together, regarding the sale of horses. Eric and Torrey Pines deny the allegations.
On 14 August, the judge said he did not proceed with a request from Eric to adjourn, partly “because of questions regarding the true state of Mr Lamaze’s health; the ostensible reason for the request”.
Eric’s notice of motion stated that he “had been battling brain cancer for a number of years, which has spread to his throat”, and that he was due to have surgery.
Eric told H&H this cancer and surgery are fact, as was his brain tumour, and that he has been treated by doctors in different countries.
Jerome Morse, for Iron Horse, did not accept the claims about Eric’s health; “in light of [his] similar claims in early 2019... he was found to have been successfully involved in equestrian events [in March] 2019”, the judge said.
