More fuel for USATF CEO speculation

posted March 24, 2012 at 4:22pm

Ever since deposing Doug Logan as CEO nearly 18 months ago, USA Track and Field has been led only by an “acting” CEO, Mike McNees. It’s a weird situation to have an “acting” leader for that long. Last May, I reported a rumo...more
