Spence Eccles

Only one of the three-member executive committee who remained in the forefront of the Salt Lake Organizing Committee through the 2002 Winter Games. A banker, Eccles was honored by the International Olympic Committee for the millions he and his family contributed to SLOC.

Frank Joklik

Another prominent Utah business leader, Joklik served as chairman of the executive committee and the board of trustees. Also took over SLOC after Tom Welch resigned in 1997 for personal reasons. Stepped down from those posts at the height of the scandal in early 1999 to make way for Mitt Romney.

Verl Topham

Like the others on the executive committee, the retired utility boss has said he was focused on fund-raising and unaware of the wrongdoing associated with the bid. He quit SLOC after the board was reorganized at the time of Romney's hiring.

Mike Leavitt

Utah's governor has said he, too, didn't know the extent of what was being done to get the Games. His testimony could come at the same time as his confirmation vote as the Bush administration's new Environmental Protection Agency chief. Leavitt has called it "unfortunate" the government has continued to pursue the case.

Deedee Corradini

Salt Lake City's former mayor traveled the globe with organizers to attend IOC meetings before the scandal broke. She then decided against seeking re-election and moved with her new husband to South Carolina, but has since returned.

Orrin Hatch

Before charges were filed against Welch and Johnson, Utah's senior senator said the government had no case because "that's the way Olympic business was done for decades." He has declined to discuss this year's decision by the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals to send the case back to Utah, but a spokesman said last week Hatch had not been subpoenaed to testify.

Andrew Young

Leader of Atlanta's organizing committee for the 1996 Summer Games, this former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations also helped arrange college admissions, trips and other perks for IOC members and their families during Atlanta's bid.
