Muhammad Ali 1942-2016

From The Times Archive
Muhammad
Ali refused to join the US Army
for military service in Vietnam
and was
sentenced to five years’ imprisonment.
The sentence was later overturned,
but
Ali was stripped of his title
and banned from fighting for more than three years
CASSIUS MARCELLUS CLAY, the world heavyweight champion who prefers to be known
by his Black Muslim name of Muhammad Ali, today refused to be inducted into the
United States Army. He declined to take the traditional step forward when called
upon to take the oath by the commanding officer at the induction centre in
Houston, Texas, even though he was addressed first as “Muhammad Ali” and then as
“Cassius Clay”.
Clay now faces the possibility of a prison sentence of five years and a fine of
up to $10,000, the penalties the Government can invoke against him as a “draft
dodger”. However, if his lawyers contest the case through the courts, the
proceedings might last for two years.
In New York, the state athletic commission announced that Clay would be stripped
of his world title if he went to prison, as he would not then be able to defend
his title. An elimination tournament would be held to find a successor. The
World Boxing Association and other controlling groups may be expected to take
similar action.
Later Clay issued a four-page statement saying: “It is in the light of my
consciousness as a Muslim minister and my personal convictions that I take my
stand in rejecting to be inducted into the armed services.
