The U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee placed Berry on probation for her actions after winning a gold medal in August 2019. Berry was an outspoken skeptic of the USOPC when it took steps to deal with social injustice issues in the aftermath of George Floyd's killing in May. For winning the award, Berry gets $10,000 to distribute to charities of her choice. Carlos and Smith got sent home; the USOPC sent Berry a letter of reprimand.
