FanDuel Bans Bettor After Harassing Olympian Gabby Thomas at Philadelphia Track Event

FanDuel has permanently banned a bettor who harassed Olympic champion Gabby Thomas during the Grand Slam Track meet in Philadelphia, where Thomas finished fourth in the 100-meter race. The individual, known as “mr100kaday” or “The Track and Field Bully,” heckled Thomas with personal insults and claimed his harassment caused her to lose, which helped him win bets on the platform. Thomas publicly condemned the abusive behavior, emphasizing that harassment of her and her family is unacceptable. Grand Slam Track, the league hosting the event, has launched a full investigation and pledged to implement safeguards to prevent such incidents. The case highlights growing concerns about fan conduct, athlete harassment, and the responsibilities of sports betting companies to address problematic customer behavior. FanDuel strongly condemned the harassment and stated that threatening or abusive behavior has no place in sports.
