Well, in fact, it seems that in many countries, like in the US, the organizer of the event holds the right to the event and the images of the event (NBA, NFL, NHL, etc). That does not question the copyright of the pictures you take: you own them, no issue. But the use you make of them may be subject to other people's authorization. I think professional photographers who are accredited to such events have to ask for permission to use their own pictures. So I guess the rule is the same for individuals...
I read on another site that apparently the guy might have sold the pictures (???) and in addition, it was used to promote something on the back of an athlete without asking him for permission...

I guess not! Because you'd know then that what they're asking him is to stop licensing the pics. They never say they want him to take down the pictures but just stop distributing them under CC license.
