A while back, there was a story about Reuben Gonzales. He was in the final match of his first professional racquetball tournament. At match point in the fifth and final game, Gonzales made a super "kill shot" into the front corner. The referee called it good, and a linesman confirmed it was a winner.
After a moment's hesitation, however, Gonzales turned and declared that his shot had hit the floor first before skipping into the wall. As a result, the serve went to his opponent, who went on to win the match.
Gonzales walked off the court, leaving everyone stunned. The next issue of a leading racquetball magazine featured him on its cover. The editorial searched for an explanation for this unprecedented act in professional sports. Who could imagine a player, with victory in his grasp, disqualifying himself at match point?
When asked why he did it, Gonzales replied, "It was the only thing I could do to maintain my integrity."

从前，有一个关于鲁本·冈萨雷斯的故事。当时，他正在参加自己职业生涯中的第一场职业壁球锦标赛决赛。在第五局也是决胜局的赛点上，冈萨雷斯打出了一记漂亮的“扣杀”，球直落前角。裁判判定得分有效，边线裁判也确认这是一个制胜球。
然而，犹豫片刻后，冈萨雷斯转身宣布，他的击球是先碰到了地板，然后才弹到墙上的。因此，发球权转给了他的对手，对手最终赢得了比赛。
冈萨雷斯离开球场，所有人都惊呆了。下一期一本主要的壁球杂志将他作为封面人物。社论试图为职业体育界这一前所未有的行为寻找解释。谁能想象，一个胜利在握的选手，会在赛点上主动取消自己的资格并输掉比赛？
当被问及为何这样做时，冈萨雷斯回答说：“这是我能做的唯一一件事，以保持我的正直。”
