(UTV|COLOMBO) – The United States Athletics Federation has put its president on “temporary administrative leave” amid an investigation into bids for international athletics events.
The Department of Justice investigation includes the decision to stage the 2021 World Championships in Eugene, Oregon.
Athletics’ governing body, the IAAF, bypassed the usual formal bidding process to award it the event in 2015.
Vin Lananna led Eugene’s 2021 bid in his role as president of TrackTown USA.
