- In Toronto, the Canadian Olympic Federation tried to sue one Tony Olympus
- because he had a business called ``Olympic Pizza''. (This was around about
- the time of the Calgary Winter Olympics.
-
- They also sued an organization I was on the board of directors, Orienteering
- Ontario, because our 'running man with a map and compass' looked too much
- like those stylized ``running man'' symbols that were used at the Olympics.
-
- (We were lucky enough to have a lawyer on the national orienteering team at
- the time, so we got them to back down)
