Chris brown won a bronze medal during the 2006 World Indoor Championships. He says that his medal entitled him to a $15,000 reward as stated in the rules. Bahamas officials denied his claim on the ground that there’s no such incentive rule. Chris says that an incentive rule was in place in 2006 but was removed in 2007; since he won in 2006 then that old rule should apply to him.

So that’s the controversy between Chris and the sports officials. We are not familiar with the rules they’re arguing over but it seems like Chris has a valid claim. What do you think?

Because this blog is all about Olympians we tend to side with athletes when they’re up against sports authorities. So, at the risk of being redundant, we’ll repeat what we said at the beginning of this post, “Hey Bahamas officials, give Chris Brown his money already.”
