"The heat doesn't work." Huddled in blankets and wired from dozens of cups of service-station coffee, the Mexicans arrived in Calgary last November in time to compete in one of a handful of events they hope will put them in position to qualify for the 2006 Olympics. The team had a more comfortable trip here to Lake Placid for a World Cup bobsled competition today, leaving the El Camino with Ramirez and gratefully accepting discounted Aero Mexico tickets from a commercial pilot who competes in the Olympic sport of skeleton in which contestants ride head-first down the bobsled course.

Low Graphics Wednesday, 6 February, 2002, 08:45 GMT Latvian wins ban appeal Prusis argued he was not at fault Latvian bobsledder Sandis Prusis has been cleared to compete in the Winter Olympics despite giving a positive drugs test. A sports arbitration panel set aside objections from the International Olympic Committee. The IOC had banned Prusis, overruling the International Bobsled Federation. Prusis appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, a panel designed to keep eligibility disputes out of the law courts. The decision sends a strong and unambiguous message to the IOC Attorney Erik A. Christiansen The panel ruled the IOC must prove a sports federation had violated the Olympic charter. Otherwise, it could not take an action that would compromise the independence of the sports federation. It reaffirmed that sports federations "can decide how to deal with doping offences which come within their jurisdiction." Prusis, pilot of the two-man and four-man Latvian sleds, tested positive for the steroid nandralone after a November training run at the Olympic track in Park City, Utah.
