That was my point. John Chaplin is still in house with USATF because they simply keep re-electing him internally. (Sorry about the typos this article was not archived).
Regardless of how one felt about Shannon Butler on a personal level, the 'letter of the law' rules were manipulated by Chaplin to the detriment of Butler. This is an 'apples to oranges' situation compared to Adam Goucher, however I will say this: there are many athletes and coaches who would like to see John Chaplin removed from USATF.
Let it be known that in 1997 Shannon Butler stood up to John Chaplin and his lawsuit against USATF was successful.
