The BBC is reporting the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Internal Revenue Service are investigating the successful bid by Eugene and USA Track & Field for the 2021 World Outdoor Track & Field Championships.
TrackTown USA is the local organizing committee in Eugene that spearheaded the bid.
Here is the BBC story, which does not cite a source.
TrackTown USA president Vin Lananna said he had not heard of investigations into the Eugene bid by either the FBI or the IRS prior to being asked about it Wednesday by a reporter.
"I have no knowledge of that," Lananna said.
