The former American athletics star Maurice Greene spoke on Monday when the officials of the California High School disqualified a ascent Sprint star for making the celebration she made famous.
The second year student Clara Adams, from North Salinas High School, ended in second place in the 400 preliminary and left the starting line quickly in the final 400 and went to first place, or so thought.

Adams celebrated with his father after winning the race. He took a fire extinguisher from his father and sprayed his shoes with him, alluding to her being in flames, Monterey Herald reported.
Greene held the fire extinguisher after she won the 100 -meter board in 2004 Home Depot Invitational. “When I heard, because it happened, and then people started calling me ‘this girl who has just directed 400 was your celebration’ was like huh? What?” He told KSBW-TV on Monday.
“If I were far from everyone and did not interfere with anyone, I would say it will restore it,” said the former Olympic.

Adams’s father, David, said the celebration was away from any of his opponents.
“I have a video of it,” he told Monterey Herald. “I was on the other side of the wall. I told him to get out of the track. He did not spray his shoes on the track. We have protested by the decision. I feel he was racially motivated.”
He explained more to KSBW-TV.
“When she flew the fire extinguisher, the opponents were gone,” he told the station. “That was our moment of celebration, and CIF officials did it from them. The crowd went crazy, they loved it, the CIF stand went crazy, they loved it. But those few guys in those jackets were offended, did not like it and made a decision based on emotions.”
The California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) confirmed the decision to disqualify Clara Adams of the 400. Then he learned that he could not compete in the 200.
Pak Gazette Digital contacted CIF to comment.
Following the incident, a petition was distributed to restore the victory of Adams. He has received more than 1,700 signatures from Tuesday morning.
