Then look at the Board and how and when they were appointed.
Well on the plus side, legislation went through last year that goes back to the old way of committees electing their board reps, instead of being hand picked by the Nominating and Governance Panel.
We have the President up for election, to be voted on by all of the delegates, and I think three of the non-athlete committee reps to be voted on by their constituents.
I agree with your points.
These annual meetings cannot come soon enough. I feel that USATF execs are about to get off with zero repercussions as time continues to pass by.
annual meeting bump
I speak little English. I wish I could read all these posts...if only there was a language learning system product offered at a discount for track and field athletes.

The Washington Post has been amazing this year. Between their political coverage and stuff like this, just amazing reporting. Glad I switched from NYT to their electronic subscription last month; been worth every penny.
Loved this exchange with Jill Geer re: the computer that he specifically had USATF buy "so I may save on taxes etc":
"In an email, Geer denied that Siegel bought the computers through the nonprofit in order to avoid sales tax. “Max requested that an employee with technical expertise assist him in the purchase of computer equipment,†she wrote. “His request had nothing to do with the avoidance of sales tax.â€
Later informed of Siegel’s email saying he wanted to “save on taxes,†Geer declined additional comment."
Priceless.
I'm laughing hysterically at your WaPo endorsement, especially of the political coverage. This is the same WaPo whose editorial board called for the prosecution of its own major source (Snowden). You're hilarious. Good stuff!
It would be nice for Sports Illustrated to do a shoot with Max Siegal and his private corporate jet. That would raise the image of US Track and Field.
Sad that these issues have been dropped.
Looks like it wasn't that tough for him to survive this after all!
