The 47-year-old resurfaced at a sports gala in NYC recently, looking sharp.
Carl -- who like Michael Phelps also once was arrested for DUI (the charge was later dismissed) -- qualified for the 1980 Olympics in Moscow, but the U.S. wound up boycotting those Games.
Lewis was drafted by the Chicago Bulls and the Dallas Cowboys in 1984, but never played a game for either team.

18. He aged very well and looks great. Doesn't look strungout or ill or anything. Just great. And people , don't start that Black and White crap today. If someone wants to get a little work done that's them.

22. Hey to the poster who said are there any AA who keep their nose! Well, you must not watch Dr. 90210! Hey what about
Ashley Tisdale and her nose job! If it makes a person feel better then whose business is it. He not trying to change is race.
Are other races doing it when they change their noses. JMO, but you really got it wrong. Whites have it done more
than anyone on the planet even if they are not in SHOW BUSINESS! Oh, let's not forget Ashley Simpson too. she is
a cutie!
Kiss me I'm Irish!

28. Carl Lewis is GAY, sorry...I ran into him with a group of cute, gay guys in a club and he wasn't hiding it!! Sorry. I always wondered how it was never announced in the media.

30. Carl was PHYSICALLY perhaps the greatest Olympic T&F athlete ever....but his pompous, calculated personality ruined his chances of beig a real hero. With Carl, there was a feeling that every single smile and every tear that rolled down his cheek while he stood on the vistory stand was choreographed by him & his agents. And as an actor/singer....good gawd!
