THE CASE OF "BUTCH REYNOLDS VS IAAF."  BUTCH REYNOLDS, CLEARED HIS NAME OF BEING FALSELY ACCUSED OF USING STEROIDS WHILE COMPETING. THE MIX UP CAME WHEN, OFFICIALS MIXED UP BUTCH REYNOLDS URINE SAMPLE DURING TESTING WITH ANOTHER RUNNER WHOM IS SUSPECTED TO BE GERMAN. THEIR (iaaf) MISTAKE CAUSED BUTCH REYNOLDS TO BE BANNED AND SUSPENDED DURING A VITAL TIME OF HIS CAREER. IT ALSO CAUSED A LARGE EXPENSE (LIFE SAVINGS) TO FIGHT TO CLEAR HIS (BUTCH REYNOLDS) NAME . THEY RUINED THE CLIMATE OF HIS TRACK CAREER WHICH LED TO ALLOW A SUPREME COURT RULING TO GRANT HIM AN $27.3 MILLION DOLLARS LAWSUIT TO COMPENSATE. DURING THE TIME OF THE "FALSE POSITIVE", BUTCH REYNOLDS, WAS THE HIGHEST PAID RUNNER. SO YOU COULD IMAGINE THE LOST WAGES THIS CREATED. BUTCH REYNOLDS, COULD OF EASILY BEEN WHAT MICHAEL JORDAN HAS BECOME TO THE GAME OF BASKETBALL, TO THE SPORT OF TRACK AND FIELD. THE RULING CAME FROM THE UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT. HOWEVER, HE WAS NEVER AWARDED HIS $27.3 MILLION DOLLARS. NOW, 27 YEARS, AFTER THE FACT, WE HAVE TO STAND FOR OUR USA OLYMPIC HISTORIAN, GOLD MEDALIST, & WORLD RECORD HOLDER (400M & 4X4OOM RELAY).CURRENTLY, BUTCH REYNOLDS, IS RUNNING HIS SPEED ACADEMY, AFTER-SCHOOL PROGRAMS IN THE MID-WEST, AND MENTORING ATHLETES THROUGH ADVERSITY.
