Brundage Calls for Uniform Amateur Code Across Sports
Avery Brundage, president of the American Olympic Association and AAU leader, urged uniform standards for amateur sport at the quadrennial AOA meeting in Washington. He cited inconsistent rules across sports, noting some amateurs may win prizes in one sport yet be barred in another, and urged core principles acceptable to all bodies. The AAU governs track, swimming, boxing, gymnastics, wrestling, handball, weight lifting and winter sports, while other sports have separate rules bodies. Brundage linked current fragmentation to damaged prestige of amateur sport and urged greater standardization.
