Butch Reynolds Biography
Butch Reynolds is one of the most popular and richest Olympic Athlete who was born on June 8, 1964 in Akron, Ohio, United States.
He won a silver medal in the 1988 Summer Olympics in the 400 meters and a gold medal in the 4 x 400 m relay. In the IAAF World Championships in Athletics he won a bronze medal in 1987, and silver medals in 1993 and 1995. He also won gold medals on the 4 x 400 meter relays in 1987, 1993 and 1995. The 1993 World Championship team with Andrew Valmon, Watts and Johnson still holds the world record for the relay.
Reynolds was born in Akron, Ohio. On August 17, 1988, aged 24 years and 70 days, he set a 400-meter world record with 43.29 seconds, smashing Lee Evans’ nearly 20-year-old 1968 world record by 0.57 seconds. Reynolds’ record had negative splits, meaning that the second half of the race was completed more quickly than the first half, and was the first time anyone had set a world record for the men’s 400 metres with negative splits. His splits were 21.9 seconds for the opening 200 metres and 21.4 seconds for the closing 200 metres, giving a differential of -0.5 seconds. This record stood for 11 years, 9 days and was broken by Michael Johnson (43.18) in August 1999. Wayde van Niekerk broke Michael Johnson’s record in 2016 in a time of 43.03. Reynolds remains the third fastest of all-time over the distance, and Olympic champions Jeremy Wariner, Quincy Watts, LaShawn Merritt and Kirani James, plus Isaac Makwala, the African champion from 2012 and 2014, and Fred Kerley, the NCAA record holder, are the only others to have come within half a second of his best mark.
Harry Lee Reynolds Jr. (born June 8, 1964), commonly known as Butch Reynolds, is an American former track and field athlete who competed in the 400 meter dash. He held the world record for the event for 11 years with his personal best time of 43.29 seconds set in 1988. That year, he was the silver medalist at the 1988 Seoul Olympics (behind Steve Lewis) and a relay gold medalist. He was banned for drug use for two years by the IAAF, following an unsuccessful legal appeal.

Butch Reynolds was suspended for two years by the IAAF for alleged illegal drug use in 1990. This was the start of a long legal fight, after which the United States Supreme Court ordered the United States Olympic Committee to allow him to participate in the 1992 U.S. Olympic trials, after finding the testing procedures were flawed from the beginning. Testers had marked specimen “H6” as testing positive while Reynolds’ blood specimen was “H5”. Lab director Jean-Pierre LaFarge claimed in court that, in spite of the markings, the technician had told him that specimen “H5” was the positive one. Yet “H6” was circled on two separate documents by the technician.
In 2016, he was elected into the National Track and Field Hall of Fame.
