But if you happen to be an Olympic ath- lete wrongfully accused of taking steroids, you can also find a lawyer to represent you before the world Court of Arbitration for Sport. Nestled above Longfellow Books, Global Sports Advocates is an interna- tional law firm that represents Olympians and other world-class athletes in a range of case types from anti-doping to intellec- tual property to contract and salary dis- putes. The firm is founded and run by Paul Greene–track athlete turned sportscaster turned lawyer–who has worked with Mi- chael Phelps; NHL player Nicholas Baxter; and more recently, Russian Olympic long jumper Darya Klishina. Originally from Long Island, New York, Greene, 45, did his undergrad at Brandeis University in Waltham, Massachusetts, before studying broadcasting at Syra- cuse University, where he learned volumes about speaking off the cuff. “The very first day of grad school, they pulled me and some woman from Iowa out of the crowd, and we had to ad lib an entire breakup in front of 2,000 people.” Greene’s early training in sports broad- casting prepared him for his career in law. “It was such a fun way to learn to use my voice. Truthfully, it helps me today. When you’re in front of a panel of arbitrators, it’s all about your oral presentation–how fast you can think on your feet.” Sports broadcasting also brought Greene to Portland at age 24, where he found a job with Fox 52 News as a sports director. Greene loved his work, but the station closed after six years. “Theparentcompanywashemorrhag- ingmoney.Theinternetboomwasover.Iwas thirtyyearsoldwithawifeandkids.Ihadto figureoutwhatelseIwasgoingtodo.” A close friend suggested he go to law school, and so in 2004, Greene enrolled at University of Maine School of Law. Follow- ing graduation, he began sowing the seeds of what would later become Global Sports Ad- vocates by taking on sports arbitration cases for little to no money. By 2013, demand for his skills started to rise. So had his fees. “I hit a breaking point. It was now or never.” Greene founded Glob- al Sports Advocates in 2014. Unlike a criminal case, sports arbitration cases are not judged by civilian juries but by lawyers and former judges. Another differ- ence: athletes aren’t protected by the Fifth Amendment: “You have to ask [the athlete] if they did it because they have to testify,” says Greene. “If they don’t, the panel will hold it against them.” Greene’sworldisoneofsuddendeadlines, shiftingtimezones,andbloodthirstyreport- ers.Thissummer,GreenerepresentedRus- sianlongjumperDaryaKlishina,whowas ontracktocompeteintheRioOlympics.The InternationalAssociationofAthleticsFedera- tions(IAAF)hadbannedherandtherestof hertrack-and-fieldteamafteraninvestigation foundthattheRussiangovernmenthadtam- peredwithathletes’urinesamples.Klishina “I’minBrazilin gridlockedtraffic.
