Peter V. Ueberroth, president of the US Olympics Committee, put forward some suggestions for the 2008 Beijing Olympics Monday at the Fortune Global Forum's Sports Roundtable.
The Olympic organizing committee can lower ticket prices in 2008 so as to let more local people participate in the Olympic Games, he said.
One million people can be allowed to see less attractive games such as cycling, marathon and cross-country race free of charge, he said.
Organizing committee members should use fewer luxurious cars to cut costs, and good accommodations should be provided for volunteers, he said.
The organizing committee should save every penny in other aspects to make athletes comfortable, he said, also calling for a drug-free Olympics.
