2006 IAAF World Cup was cancelled since L.A. organizers could not find money to pay the lavish expense required by the 5,000 strong IAAF Mafia aka "IAAF Blue Badges". Thus for L.A. to consider a Worlds Championships WA has to limit the bid to professional athletes and one coach per athlete. Leave out of the bid the 5 star hotel, free First Class Airfare for the WA board and 200 nations' federation members, plus free use for 1 week of a Convention Center with amenities, completely out of the bid requirements. L.A. could then be a possibility for World Athletics.
