Appreciate your support and the link!<BR/><BR/>Truth be told, T&FN isn't alone in ignoring or shying away from deep issues. USATF and its leaders have been given a free pass for years by track writers around the country. <BR/><BR/>Why? USATF is small potatoes, and who cares about track anyway? But malfeasance is malfeasance, and a scandal is a scandal. All deserve to be explored.<BR/><BR/>I was impressed by the USATF series by Adam Jacobs at TheFinalSprint.com. But it could have been tougher. Adam and Co. barely scratched the surface. <BR/><BR/>I do what I can -- with little time and a hobby site -- but only a full-time reporter, cut loose to follow all strands of a story, can do a proper job investigating USATF and others issues in our sport. <BR/><BR/>TAFWA should undertake a modern version of the Arizona Project, the legendary 1970s investigation of organized crime in Arizona following the assassination of Arizona Republic investigative reporter Don Bolles. <BR/><BR/>TAFWA should get a working group together, assign elements of a story, and put out a final report for posting and publishing in member papers and Web sites.<BR/><BR/>Just a thought.Ken Stonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02877899893483245783noreply@blogger.com
