A correction to my initial post on this topic:

I have been informed that the action to remove the current Chef d' Equipe
was taken at some time prior to the meeting of the USEF HP Endurance
Committee yesterday. The action was taken by "USEF Management"
and was characterized to the Committee as an incontrovertible
"personnel action".

The USEF HP Endurance Committee was asked only to propose a new person to
fill the Chef d' Equipe role, not to weigh the merits of the personnel
action.

The proposal for replacement was finalized yesterday during the HP
Endurance Committee conference call and is to be presented/ratified by
the USEF executive committee at a 5pm EDT meeting this afternoon.

USEF representatives have chosen not to comment as to the reason(s)
behind the removal of the previous Chef 'd Equipe.  No official
statements have been released which articulate the motivation of those
who requested the personnel action. 

While there has been no comment on the matter by USEF personnel, there
has been a steady stream of messages directed to USEF personnel from
active USEF Endurance Athletes. These statements have overwhelmingly
supported of the skills and approach taken by the  previous Chef d'
Equipe
