US athletics leader says Beijing results deficient


COLORADO SPRINGS, Colorado (AP) - The new leader of USA Track and Field judged the team's underwhelming performance at the Beijing Olympics - including dropped batons and a record-low men's gold medal count - to be "seriously deficient.''

After watching both U.S. relay teams drop the baton in the 4x100-meter preliminaries and seeing the U.S. men win only four gold medals, chief executive Doug Logan decided to form a panel of former athletes and coaches to analyze USATF's high performance programs.
