Butchart was sixth in the last Olympics in Rio de Janeiro 2016 and eight in the home World Cup London the following year.
Now it's storming around the 29 - year - old runner who was one of the 72 selected in Britain's Olympic squad.
He was standing in the check-in queue, unclear in which country, and discovered that he needed a PCR test that was less than 48 hours old and Butchart was creative at the top and looking for an old test and changing the time and date.
- It is so difficult to get a PCR test and I am sure that everyone has falsified their tests, Butchart said in the podcast on Sunday according to The Guardian.
Butchart's name was deleted after 33 minutes
When the British Olympic team was released on Tuesday, Butchart's name was left out for 33 minutes before it was deleted and an investigation was appointed.
- Everything is effortless and is on the table.
We need to find out what was actually said and what he meant by that, says a spokesman for the British Athletics Federation.
A decision must be made no later than 7 July, as it is the last date to change the name to the Olympics.
The situation is particularly sensitive for British athletes as the country is one of ten that has tougher restrictions ahead of the games in Japan due to the new Delta variant of covid-19.
Butchhart got cold feet after his outspokenness and later went out and said he was exaggerating.
- I may have exaggerated the incident for the podcast and I apologize if I caused discomfort to anyone in the British Olympic team or in the Japanese Olympic organization.
I have never falsified a PCR test and have always followed the guidelines that exist in the countries I traveled to, says Butchart.
Buthart has this year competed abroad in Germany, Poland and the USA.
