USA is one corrupt organization! I can bet you that the top administrators make more more money than the lower five of the top ten swimmers! We are talking of salaries of over 200/300/400k per year! Please tell me how many American swimmers other than Ledecky make the same? This is a corrupt and self serving organization period!
