Not quite.
Check out the US Olympian's Association:

Ok, she was in charge of the archive and science journals. She helped research questions that came up and assisted journalists who would call looking up historical information. We got into the discussion one day because my boss was a member of the 1980 team in canoe/kayak. I trust her knowledge in this area.
I think Cindy Stinger also made a comment about this as well. She is the head of the US Olympian Alumni Association.
