NEWS: Freddy Adu is courted by Ghana and their World Cup side.
VIEWS: He’ll go… if he wants his already shaky public image destroyed (especially here in DC) and if he wants to get the teenage crap kicked out of him by the Stars and Stripes in the group stage of the World Cup. In other words, I don’t think he’s going.

NEWS: American sprinters Tim Montgomery and Chryste Gaines have been banned for 2 years by the Court of Arbitration For Sport for supposedly doping.
VIEWS: …despite the fact that Montgomery never tested positive for drugs. Does anyone else have a problem with this? Montgomery specifically here has had all his records wiped based on evidence gathered and testimony from another sprinter, Kelli White, but no actual positive test. Terrible.
