And always as a matter of general practice, constant vigilance and an ongoing online reputation management campaign should help curb in ongoing cyber squatting directed towards the athlete's personal brand.

The sad thing is how many simple mistakes athletes make. Remember when Melanie Oudin became the "next big thing in Tennis" at the US Open this year? Her dad (her manager) did a pretty good job -- he got her COM domain, and Facebook page. But the Twitter account was cyber-squatted with a bunch of sex ads (I haven't checked if that's been fixed). Larry:
