Biography
Paul Lizandier ran at the 1906 Athina Intercalated Olympics and was entered at the 1912 Stockholm Games, although he never competed. Lizandier won one French title, in a road competition in 1909.
In 1913 Lizandier moved to Romania, deserting the French Army during World War I. He was sentenced to death for insubordination, but in December 1937 he was pardoned by a general amnesty law, although he died in Romania at around that time, and the circumstances of this are unclear.
