Argentine legend to be exhumed for test

An Argentine judge has ordered the remains of 1950s Formula One champion driver Juan Manuel Fangio to be exhumed for a paternity test. Fangio was one of Formula One's earliest champions and is a legend of the racing world. He won championships in 1951, 1954, 1955, 1956 and 1957. Fangio, who died July 17, 1995 at 84, was never married and was not known to have had children.
