Boston and U.S. Olympic leaders will travel to Switzerland next week to sound out the IOC about their struggling candidacy for the 2024 Summer Games amid a leadership shake-up at the top of the bid. The high-level American delegation will be at IOC headquarters in Lausanne, Switzerland, next Wednesday and Thursday as part of the new ''invitation phase'' for Olympic bid cities, two officials with knowledge of the meeting told The Associated Press. The Boston delegation will be headed by Steve Pagliuca, the Boston Celtics co-owner who took over as bid leader on Thursday, replacing construction magnate John Fish.
