Fair and square
• THE day after the Olympics ended,
French sports daily L'Equipe carried an
interesting interview with Michel Baudel,
member of AlBA's Appeals Commission
in Athens. "We examined a dozen appeals
[against decisions]," Baudel said.

rules. We watched in slow motion tapes
of the bouts and counted the blows, but
had the same winner."
