Testa was a bicyclist who competed in the 1932 Olympics in Los Angeles. I don't see that he won any medals but he must have been good if he made it to the Olympics.

His wikipedia article is a stub, but here is a link to it for the sake of completeness: Eddie Testa on Wikipedia Dot Org.

His brother Frank also competed as a cyclist in the 1932 Olympics.

This article on Olympedia has more information on Eddie.

This blog article on the 1932 Olympics mentions Eddie and his brother Frank.

There is a short book (46 pages) about Eddie's experiences in the Olympics. It is listed on Google Books as An Olympian's Oral History. I couldn't open it (unlike some books I've found on Google books) but here is the URL for the entry I found on Google Books.

One of the events Eddie competed in was the 4000 meter team pursuit. According to the Wikipedia article on the event the U.S. team finished fifth.
