"In 1967, Ali refused to be inducted into the U.S. military based on his
religious beliefs and opposition to the war in Vietnam. He was arrested
and found guilty on draft evasion charges, stripped of his boxing
title, and his boxing license was suspended. He was not imprisoned but
did not fight again for nearly four years while his appeal worked its
way up to the U.S. Supreme Court."
Ce qui aurait du lui coûter sa carrière ... mais il remonta ensuite sur le ring et reconquit son titre dans un de ses plus beau combat.
Aucun sportif ne fut plus lourdement condamné que lui pour une prise de position politique à cette époque..
