    National Amateur Athletic Union president Louis Stout, who sought to foster a "culture of safety" with the implementation of several reforms, died Sunday at age 73, the organization said.

    AAU spokesman Ron Sachs said Stout died early Sunday morning at St. Joseph's Hospital in Lexington, Ky. Sachs said Stout had been hospitalized for about a week with an unspecified illness.

    Stout took over the Amateur Athletic Union after the group's former president, Bobby Dodd, was accused by two former basketball players of molesting them as children in Memphis and other locations in the 1980s.
