Nope. USATF does not have to be in any IAAF. To be in the Summer Olympics, USATF has to be a member of USOC which is a member of the IOC. As previously mentioned, USATF like any one else is free to conduct it's own athletics world championships. |

The NBA is part of USOC. The NBA is not part of the World B-Ball Federation and would never join. If the NBA was a member 10,000 free seats to the NBA Championships would have to be awarded free to 200 countries. |
