<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/7159/20060404/after-tough-olympics-lake-placid-sled-teams-rebuild</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Apr 4, 2006) Two months after a disappointing run at the Winter Olympics in Torino, the U-S Bobsled and Skeleton Federation has named a new acting director. Terry Kent is a former Olympian who has been sports director with the Lake Placid-based Federation for two years. Kent takes over following a series of scandals involving former skeleton coach Tim Nardiello. The team&apos;s top men&apos;s slider, Zach Lund, was also disqualified for using a banned hair-growth supplement.  Leading women&apos;s slider, Noelle Pikus-Pace, was sidelines by injuries. The Federation accounted for a third of America&apos;s gold medals in 2002, but only claimed one silver medal in Torino. The controversy exposed deep rifts with US Olympic Committee officials in Park City. Kent told Brian Mann that he plans to rebuild and hopes to keep the organization in Lake Placid.
