At the 1990 European Athletics Championships in Split the French team of Max Morinière, Daniel Sangouma, Trouabal and Bruno Marie-Rose improved the world record to 37.79 seconds. The record stood less than one year, as the United States team ran in 37.67 seconds at the 1991 Weltklasse Zurich meet.^[1]

He was born on the same day (20 May 1965) as his teammate Bruno Marie-Rose.
