Finances of Olympic Star's Foundation Questioned

The foundation of the Olympics athlete Jackie Joyner-Kersee paid at least $457,000 in consulting fees to her husband Robert Kersee’s foundation, which did not file federal informational statements from 2002 through 2007, according to the Belleville News Democrat. The payments came even as the organization was losing money, the newspaper says.

Mr. Kersee said the money he received was spent properly and the group is working to file its informational returns.
