Re: Charlie Wells Receives Two-Year USATF Suspension

Track agents are not required to be approved by USATF, the federation that oversees the sport in the United States

impotent, nonsensical sentence

if charles manson gets paroled & wants to be an agent, how coud ustaf stop him ?

The real power lies with the meet promoters, who if they want to blackball the athletes of one agent can certainly do so (well, in virtually all cases).

It can stop Agent Manson and his ilk from getting credentials, etc., for the USA nationals/Trials.

It's also just plain wrong. See USATF Operating Regulation 16.
