Boutayeb won a silver medal at the World Indoor Championships held in Seville, Spain.
Boutayeb may be best known for a controversy in the 1992 Olympic Games. In the 1992 Olympics 10,000 Meter Final, Boutayeb was lapped with 3 laps to go in the race and proceeded to run along the lead pack of Richard Chelimo and Khalid Skah. Skah bested Chelimo by 1.02 seconds, but was temporarily disqualified for allegedly receiving assistance from Boutayeb. However, Skah appealed and was later reinstated.[1]
