John Hansen has a great interview up w/ Albert. Albert says he was born in 1936 (some think its 1930) so it means he won a pro-show when he was 55 against a good lineup.

Looks better than todays blobs of water. (Great interview John).
So Albert lied when he claimed 1930.
Joe Roark said his passport said 1938, with the top of the 8 scratched out to look like 1930. Now Albert is claiming 1936. So he still wants to claim an older age than the 1938 that Roark alleged.
He lied once... wouldn't he potentially lie again?
Either way, I guess he is at least 81, which is a pretty long lifespan for a guy who probably used steroids for 25+ years.
