I don't know what his motivation is, but your argument makes sense. Losing out to Rogge as IOC Chief and then being appointed Chairman of the WADA as consolation had to be a major step down.

Maybe he cut a deal with Masback to let him walk all over the USATF during the Winter Olympics. They sure are making it easy for Pound to look good. --- Mike Prizy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I couldn't agree with you more.
