United States wrestlers Matt Lindland, left, and Garret Lowney smile during a news conference in Sydney, Sunday, Sept. 17, 2000. The match that sent wrestler Matt Lindland to the Olympics was decided by a shuffle of papers in Washington, with a U.S. Supreme Court justice serving as the ultimate referee. Arguing that a referee on the mat had missed an illegal trip in the Greco-Roman wrestling qualifier he lost, Lindland fought both USA Wrestling and the U.S. Olympic Committee all the way to the Supreme Court for a right to a rematch. He won in court. He won on the mat.
