   Brendan Brazier is another one. "During his six year career, Brazier   
   was regarded as one of the top endurance athletes in the world." He   
   was vegan during this time.   
      
   It's moving the goalposts to say "currently". My claim was not   
   specific to the present tense.   
      
   My claim was based on a memory of reading something about world-class   
   athletes, but I now realize that that was vegetarian, not vegan.   
   However I have found you three world-class vegan athletes. No doubt   
   more could be found. This is boring. Don't you have anything better to   
   do with your time?
