AAU to Probe Former Athletes in Expense Money Review
New York AP The National AAU moved on from the Wes Santee case and will quiz several former athletes about possible violations of expense money rules. AAU committee head Pincus Seber said invitations for a Monday hearing were sent, without assurance invitees will attend. Santee, the mile record holder, was suspended for life for taking too much, and the committee aims to learn if others were offered excessive expenses and by whom. The names will not be released, per Sober.
