Duhaime was one of many athletes to not compete in the 1980 Summer Olympics because of the 1980 Summer Olympics boycott against Moscow, they participated in the Olympic Boycott Games in Philadelphia instead.[1] Duhaime was gay, and one of only a handful of openly gay Olympians at the time.[1] He died of AIDS in 1992.
