No update but, a prediction for this weekend's annual meeting.
1. USATF PR team will issue a statement acknowledging the federal investigation but, that the federation cannot comment on any pending investigatory matters.
2. USATF counsel is researching how to proceed regarding bylaws and potential suspension of USATF officers during the aforementioned matter.
(Murmurs start in running media, websites, and amongst the membership)
3. USATF Board of Directors votes themselves virtual dictatorial powers to comply with USOPC mandates and avoid possible decertification.
(Murmurs become loud rumbles and outcry)
4. USATF announces that the Oly Marathon Trials are being scrapped effective immediately and replaced with a rankings system weighted heavily on placement at WMM races to ensure that "The World's Best Track and Field Team" is represented in the marathon by proven competitors unafraid to mix it up with the world's best.
(All running media and sub-elite members go completely bats**t crazy! The ensuing teeth gnashing, bewilderment, and anger make everyone forget that the FBI is snooping around and that the board can now do whatever the hell it wants...forever.)
