Doctors and healthcare providers at the University of Virginia Medical Centre managed to put a halt to Sultan Kosen’s continual and abnormal growth. Kosen lives with acromegaly, a condition caused by a tumour in the pituitary gland that leads to abnormally increased release of growth hormone. So what is the final official measurement in the 2012 Guinness World Record for the world’s tallest man? Eight feet and three inches.
We would like to acknowledge that The Varsity's office is built on the traditional territory of several First Nations, including the Huron-Wendat, the Petun First Nations, the Seneca, and most recently, the Mississaugas of the Credit. Journalists have historically harmed Indigenous communities by overlooking their stories, contributing to stereotypes, and telling their stories without their input. Therefore, we make this acknowledgement as a starting point for our responsibility to tell those stories more accurately, critically, and in accordance with the wishes of Indigenous peoples.
