    Oh there is no doubt about that at all. That is an exact replica right down to the water bottle. There's a lawyer out there right now licking his chops.

    Did they happen to give any credit to the photographer/media outlet in the credits? I don't know if it will get anywhere, but I also agree some lawyer(s) are probably going to look into this one.

    Most importantly, the young man who's picture/likeness they stole, who also happens to be an amateur athlete had no idea. (From the article, which has more coincidences than the one I listed, which was the most blatant).
