Boston’s Olympic bid is looking likely to fail before it even gets to the starting blocks. On Monday, the Boston mayor, Marty Walsh, said he would not sign a host city contract with the US Olympic Committee (Usoc) until he knew the financial implications of the agreement.“I’m not going to sign an agreement that’s going to cost the taxpayers to pony up,” said Walsh at a press conference.Walsh is concerned that Bostonians will bear the costs if the city is chosen to host the 2024 Olympics. “I refuse to mortgage the future of the city away,’’ he said. “This is a commitment that I can’makewithout ensuring the city and its residents will be protected.’’ Walsh said he needs time to assess the full financial implications of the bid.
