I believe it may have a real-world origin. Maurice Greene got it tattooed on himself.
I think that Geb is in his early forties (at least). I know that (in the past) there has been some "reissuing" of passports for up and coming runners prior to a World Junior Championships.
And yes, this makes his accomplishments all the more amazing. Geb knows what his passport says, but I doubt that he "really" knows how old he is.
