    I was domain name searching, and one of my favorite athlete's who is an up-and-coming star (but not popular yet) his domain name is available..

    So if I registered it, would I get in trouble/could he just take it from me in the future???

    Just to be clear, I dont plan on ever selling it to anyone but him, but I would like to put adsense up to maintain costs of running.

    yes he can easily take the domain from you by filing udrp. At worst he can sue you

    but theres rules of UDRP that must be used. Lots of people have lost and were denied their domain name (bruce springsteen, dustin diamond, anna nicole smith)

    He has they right to take it from you if he wants.So,you'd better make another choice.
