League Notes: FINA Supresses Maximum Age Limit For Top Officials

At the 16th Int'l Swimming Federation (FINA) World Championships, delegates from 139 National Federations approved "by a large majority" proposals for changes in the body’s constitution. The changes, which enter into immediate effect, include "suppression" of the maximum age limit of elected FINA Bureau members. Until now, the relevant rule stated that the maximum age of elected Bureau members "must be no more than eighty (80) years in the year of the election to the FINA Bureau" (INSIDE THE GAMES, 7/23). ... Officials from the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency "will speak to senior figures in British Athletics this week after questioning Mo Farah for five hours about his coach, Alberto Salazar, on Saturday morning." Among those who are expected to be interviewed are British Athletics Performance Dir Neil Black and the organization’s head of endurance, Barry Fudge, "both of whom have worked closely with Salazar since Farah joined the Nike Oregon Project" in the autumn of '10 (London GUARDIAN, 7/26).
