The International Olympic Committee has so many rules it makes the NCAA appear lax, and as of Monday evening, officials were disputing multiple parts of Miller’s helmet. He may either have to paint over them or, as he put it, cover them “with electrical tape.”
The one part Miller wasn’t anticipating trouble with – and the one he will fight the hardest to keep – is the simple inscription “Matt Man.”
That’s the nickname he used with his cousin, Matt Schoals, who died in 2007 from complications of a bone marrow transplant to treat leukemia. Schoals was 18. Miller has honored Schoals ever since by painting “Matt Man” on his Buffalo Sabres helmet.
“I’ll contest,” Miller said Monday, unsure exactly what the process entails. “My aunt and uncle and my family, it’s important to them. It’s important to me.

It made no sense to force him to cover it up.
