WORLDVIEW: Exonerated Tim Noakes – another plaudit for banting-obsessed SA’s hero

As a long-term Tim Noakes fan, I've recused myself from reporting on his well publicised victory after a lengthy hearing where his reputation was on trial. Covering Noakes on Biznews fell to Marika Sboros before our former colleague branched out on her own. So our coverage of the outcome of the medical industry's trial of the decade has been light.

The contribution below from multi-talented Biznews colleague Chris Bateman puts that right. Bateman, who spent a decade and a half focusing his journalistic efforts on the medical sector, is the ideal man to contextualise the latest instalment in the Tim Noakes story. He kicks it off with a wonderful quote from the fellow who pipped Nelson Mandela to the total man of the (last) century.

Chris writes: "Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts." – Winston Churchill.
