USOC, USATF Sponsorship Conflicts
Holding Up ’08 Olympic Marathon Trials |
While several sources said that Boston and N.Y. have been chosen to host the ’08
U.S. Olympic marathon trials for women and men, respectively, USATF and the USOC
“are wrangling over financial details,” according to John Powers of the BOSTON
GLOBE. USOC Chief Communications Officer Darryl Seibel: “We have several issues

over all trials, and [USATF].” USATF’s Glenn Latimer: “If it smells like an Olympic

GLOBE, 4/19).
