JOHANNESBURG (AP) The board of South Africa's troubled track federation has been dissolved and an interim committee appointed.
The South African Press Association says a seven-member temporary board was elected at a meeting on Saturday and will be given six months to sort out Athletics South Africa's problems.
ASA has been in turmoil since its former president was fired and banned from sport for seven years for mismanagement in the Caster Semenya gender-test affair. Athletics officials admitted lying about tests performed on the teenage Semenya in 2009 before she won the 800-meter title at the world championships. She was later subjected to tests by the IAAF and sidelined from competing for a year.
Current ASA president James Evans was also ousted on Saturday after a long-running battle with South Africa's Olympic committee, which suspended the track federation in June.
