Attorney Defends Gault Suit LOS ANGELES (AP) If an antitrust suit filed by former Tennessee star Willie Gault is successful, it would "redefine the profit picture of amateur sports" and open the Olympics to professionals, Gault's attorney said yesterday.

"World-class athletes like Carl Lewis, Mary Decker, and Alberto Salazar wijuld get a share of the pot commensurate with what they bring to the sport." Gault, who started 16 games at wide receiver after signing with the Chicago Bears last summer following the World Championships in Helsinki, is suing the International Olympic thi; International Amateur Athletic Federation The Athletic Congress Tor the fight to compete in the Los Angeles Summer Games.
