      <description>&lt;!-- [DocumentBodyStart:0231120e-7b03-4c9e-9a96-e375a7f9c44f] --&gt;&lt;div class="jive-rendered-content"&gt;&lt;p&gt;In case you didn&amp;rsquo;t know, detailed financial statements are publically available for your sporting organizations.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You can select the hot links included here to find the main pages for financial statements for &lt;a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://www.usaswimming.org/DesktopDefault.aspx?TabId=1996&amp;amp;Alias=Rainbow&amp;amp;Lang=en"&gt;USA Swimming&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://www.usacycling.org/news/user/story.php?id=172"&gt;USA Cycling&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://www.usatriathlon.org/about-usat/governance/financials"&gt;USA Triathlon&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Some quick pulls from the statements include that in 2009, &lt;a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://www.usaswimming.org/_Rainbow/Documents/60855184-7a91-44bc-a730-cebbec29e15b/2009%20USAS%20990%20Public%20Disclosure%20Copy.pdf"&gt;USA Swimming spent $1.3 million&lt;/a&gt; for legal services. In the same year, USA Triathlon claimed &lt;a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://assets.teamusa.org/assets/documents/attached_file/filename/29440/2009_Tax_Return.pdf"&gt;$8.3 million in contributions and grants&lt;/a&gt;. Also in 2009, USA Cycling collected &lt;a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://www.usacycling.org/forms/990-2009.pdf"&gt;$4.5 million in membership dues&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The CEOs of USA Triathlon and USA Cycling make annual salaries less than half that of the USA Swimming CEO at a total compensation package of $731,581.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If there are world-class expectations and world-class performance there should be high, world-class, compensation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I&amp;rsquo;m happy to see the organizations associated with swimming, cycling and triathlon increasing income and salaries. It may be awhile before we reach the levels of baseball, football and basketball &amp;ndash; but &amp;ndash; there has been significant improvement in the last 10 to 15 years.&amp;#160; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!-- [DocumentBodyEnd:0231120e-7b03-4c9e-9a96-e375a7f9c44f] --&gt;</description>
