From what I've heard, often and from a lot of sources, he's hardly the only person in this case who could be asccused of expense abuse.
No, you're exactly right. In fact I would imagine that if everyone's expenses were looked into Logan would be one of the ones with the least amount of abuse. Hightower expense abuse is probably more than triple everyone else put together. The USATF would be a much better organization and will be on its way down a legit path as soon as Hightower is put out. She is every bit as racist as Brooks Johnson, and even far more ignorant. She cares nothing about the organization itself or the athletes and only uses the position for her own benefit.
Consider the meeting in Hawaii...what good for track and field can be done in Hawaii? Is Hawaii a place known for track and field? No, it was only so the board members could use the meeting as an excuse for a paid vacation for not only themselves but also for their family. No good was done at the meeting in Hawaii, and the nature of Hawaii was obviously going to be a distraction from any work that needed to and should have been done their.
Axe them all, clean house. Start it over from the ground up. We need former athletes in these positions and it needs to be well documented and public what is expected from each person in each position. These bureaucrats know nothing about what the athletes need or how to make the organization and sport thrive. They only know how to fill their own pockets and take luxurious vacations on the national organizations dollar.
Logan was the only good thing that the USATF had going. Now its all going to hell.
