Usa Track Stiffs Acog

The nation’s largest sports federation has refused to pay a $1.3 million bill from Atlanta organizers for pre-Olympic events held at the city’s games stadium.

In return, the Atlanta Committee for the Olympic Games is withholding almost $500,000 in marketing payments it owes to USA Track and Field.

USA Track has claimed that ACOG has inflated the bill for use of the stadium, while ACOG has accused the federation of deliberately stalling to leave the bill unsettled until ACOG goes out of business.

ACOG is in the process of closing the books on the 1996 games. Organizers have said they will end with a small profit.
