Agence France-Presse LIEVEN, France (February 21, 2002 02:12 PM EST) - The controversial Russian distance runner Olga Yegorova has not been invited to run in Sunday's indoor athletics meeting because she failed to meet the organizers' family-friendly criteria. A French promoter has also hit on

Yegorova had only an A positive, yet her name was dragged through the mud at the World Championships. Sounds like she has good grounds for a law suit if she was American. Why? The World Championships were in Canada. Cases are usually filed in the jurisdiction where an alleged offense has

Where are you hearing this? It was the Brits who were burning Yeg at the stake- especially a certain Brit female who threatened to skip the Edmonton final over the presence of Yeg. Just look at the subject line to the original post. Due to the media , I think most people (including myself)

Slightly off topic (which may well be a good thing), but anyone else find the Korean speed skating delegation's argument amusing? You know, the one about their skater getting disqualified for a rules infraction and how the winner should be decided on the ice. If I'm not mistaken, it was in
