I was today years old when I learnt it'd been deleted.
I am not willing to swear it's not in the edition I own (small paperback, pulp-style cover, mentions the MGM prize, can't find an image on the internet and have honestly never seen another copy), but the edition I own has been in storage for a demoralizing number of years, so I can't check for myself. I was sent the scene in question in the interim. I had no idea about the text of The Charioteer until it was mentioned to me. I glimpsed a British first edition once in a used book store in Vancouver, but I did not have the surplus limbs to mortgage for it.
I wrote a massive long fanfic in which Sam was a major character and people must have been reading it and going, "Who is this bizarre OMC?"

On the bright side, I'll go read that.
