IfXCEl i LNCtJ ARMY ROTC THE SMARTEST COLLEGE COURSE TOD CAN TAKE WASHINGTON (AP) — A Senate committee tore into Olympic leaders Wednesday over the Salt Lake bribery scandal and took quick action to place the IOC under the same law that deals with corrupt governments. With two members calling for International Olympic Committee president Juan Antonio Samaranch to resign and a general skepticism that the IOC was ready to clean up its act, the Senate Commerce Committee repeatedly criti cized a “culture of corruption’’ that left the rings tarnished and the games defamed. “A pattern of payoffs, palace intrigue and padded budgets has clouded over the integrity of the Olympics,’’ Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., said. Despite some senators’ urging that immedi ate financial action be taken, commerce panel chairman Sen. John McCain said he wanted to go slow on legislation that would make the Olympics a less-attractive product for sponsors and direct billion-dollar TV rights fees to the U.S. Olympic Committee instead of the IOC. Such legislation could wind up hurting ath letes training for next year’s games in Sydney and the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake, the powerful Arizona Republican said. But McCain, who held two IOC members to an excruciating 45 minutes of questioning on Olympic finances and reform intentions, said he would immediately introduce a bill to place the international panel under the Federal Cor rupt Practices Act, which forbids bribery of for eign officials.

Lamb said in an interview with Houston television station KRIV that “in large part the deal is done.” “The players have chosen to ac cept the proposal and to go forward with it,” she said. Bruce Levy, a New York-based agent representing about 30 cur rent or former players, told The Ari zona Republic there was not “any real obstacle” that needed to be cleared. Levy said the deal included minimum salaries of $30,000 for veterans and $25,000 for rookies plus year-round player health benefits. Players now can negoti ate deals based on merit, rather than being predetermined by a salary slot. Additionally, players would re ceive a percentage of the league’s basketball-related income, and the league will establish and contribute to a retirement plan. Lamb said that one of the de tails yet to be ironed out is the length of the deal. She told KRIV that the WNBA wants the contract to last four years, but the players say they only want a three-year deal.
